Implement basic low-watermark support for the transmit queue.
Hardware low-watermarks allow a properly configured kernel
to continously stream data to a device and not have to handle
any interrupts at all in doing so. Correct zero-interrupt
operation can be actually observed for this driver, when the
socket buffer is made large enough.
The basic idea of a low-watermark interrupt is as follows.
The device driver queues up a bunch of packets for the hardware
to transmit, and then kicks the hardware to get it started.
As the hardware drains the queue of pending, untransmitted
packets, the device driver will want to know when the queue
is almost empty, so that it can queue some more packets.
If the queue drains down to the low waterark, then an interrupt
will be generated. However, if the kernel/driver continues
to add enough packets to keep the queue partially filled,
no interrupt will actually be generated, and the hardware
can continue streaming packets indefinitely in this mode.
The impelmentation is done by setting the DESCR_TXDESFLG flag
in one of the packets. When the hardware sees this flag, it will
interrupt the device driver. Because this flag is on a fixed
packet, rather than at fixed location in the queue, the
code below needs to move the flag as more packets are
queued up. This implementation attempts to keep the flag
at about 1/4 from "empty".

This fixes eeprom read on big-endian architectures.
readw returns the data in CPU order. With cpu_to_le16 we convert it to little
endian, because "ptr" is a pointer to a _byte_ arrray. See the cast above. A
byte array is little endian.
The bug is:
Reading u16 values with readw, casting them into an u8 array and accessing
this u8 array as an u8 (byte) array. The correct fix is to swap the
CPU-ordering value returned by readw into little endian, as the u8 array is
little endian.
This compiles to nothing on little endian hardware (so it does not change b44
code on LE hardware), but _fixes_ code on BE hardware.

IB/cm: Send DREP in response to unmatched DREQ
Currently a DREP is only sent in response to a DREQ if a connection
has been found matching the DREQ, and it is in the proper state. Once
a DREP is sent, the local connection moves into timewait. Duplicate
DREQs received while in this state result in re-sending the DREP.
However, it's likely that the local connection will enter and exit
timewait before the remote side times out a lost DREP and resends a DREQ.
To handle this, we send a DREP in response to a DREQ, even if a local
connection is not found. This avoids maintaining disconnected
id's in timewait states for excessively long times, just to handle a
lost DREP.

ports at the same time.
2) Let the user specify the identifier extention when adding the
device. This allows userspace to make multiple connections even
from the same port, if it wants too.
Without this, only one connection can be made from any given HCA, even
if it has multiple ports, because we don't use multi-channel mode, so
targets will only allow one connection from a given initiator port ID.

[POWERPC] Fix secondary CPU startup on old "powersurge" SMP powermacs
On the old "powersurge" SMP powermacs, the second CPU is started up
by sending it an IPI, which has the side effect of stopping the
timebase clock (so the secondary CPU's timebase can be synchronized
with the primary's). The routine that did this used udelay, which
will hang forever when the timebase is stopped, since udelay now spins
until the timebase reaches a certain value.
The end result is that the kernel would hang when bringing up the
second CPU. This fixes it by using a simple loop which just does a
fixed number of iterations to generate the delay. These old systems
were all clocked at around 200 MHz or so, so a fixed number of
iterations is acceptable.
The IDE driver will pick up the PCI IRQ for both channels on Maple
despite the fact that it's in legacy mode. This works around it by
"hiding" the PCI IRQ of the AMD8111 IDE controller when it's configured
in legacy mode on the Maple platform, thus causing the driver to call
pci_get_legacy_ide_irq() which will return the correct interrupts for
both channels.
