interrupt handler may be called even though interrupts are disabled on
the NIC. When we change ring sizes, we reallocate the event queue and
the interrupt handler may use an invalid pointer when called for
another device's interrupt.
Maintain a legacy_irq_enabled flag and test that at the top of the
interrupt handler. Note that this problem results from the need to
work around broken INT_ISR0 reads, and does not affect the legacy
interrupt handler for Falcon A1.

sfc: Generalise filter spec initialisation
Move search_depth arrays into per-table state.
Define initialisation function efx_filter_init_rx() which sets
everything apart from the match fields.
Define efx_filter_set_{ipv4_local,ipv4_full,eth_local}() to set the
match fields. This allows some simplification of callers and later
support for additional protocols and more flexible matching using
multiple calls to these functions.

sfc: Remove filter table IDs from filter functions
The separation between filter tables is largely an internal detail
and it may be removed in future hardware. To prepare for that:
- Merge table ID with filter index to make an opaque filter ID
- Wrap efx_filter_table_clear() with a function that clears filters
from both RX tables, which is all that the current caller requires

This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of
TX packets and provides two policies:
* a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
* a priority based policy (set via socket options).
Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
queue (can be overridden via socket options).
The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.

sfc: Use TX push whenever adding descriptors to an empty queue
Whenever we add DMA descriptors to a TX ring and update the ring
pointer, the TX DMA engine must first read the new DMA descriptors and
then start reading packet data. However, all released Solarflare 10G
controllers have a 'TX push' feature that allows us to reduce latency
by writing the first new DMA descriptor along with the pointer update.
This is only useful when the queue is empty. The hardware should
ignore the pushed descriptor if the queue is not empty, but this check
is buggy, so we must do it in software.
In order to tell whether a TX queue is empty, we need to compare the
previous transmission count (write_count) and completion count
(read_count). However, if we do that every time we update the ring
pointer then read_count may ping-pong between the caches of two CPUs
running the transmission and completion paths for the queue.
Therefore, we split the check for an empty queue between the
completion path and the transmission path:
- Add an empty_read_count field representing a point at which the
completion path saw the TX queue as empty.
- Add an old_write_count field for use on the completion path.
- On the completion path, whenever read_count reaches or passes
old_write_count the TX queue may be empty. We then read
write_count, set empty_read_count if read_count == write_count,
and update old_write_count.
- On the transmission path, we read empty_read_count. If it's set, we
compare it with the value of write_count before the current set of
descriptors was added. If they match, the queue really is empty and
we can use TX push.
