This is a patch originated with Stefano Salsano and Fabio Ludovici.
It provides several alternative loss models for use with netem.
This patch adds two state machine based loss models.
Many users have wanted the old functionality that was lost
to be able to use pfifo as inner qdisc for netem. The reason that
netem could not be classful with the older API was because of the
limitations of the old dequeue/requeue interface; now that qdisc API has
a peek function, there is no longer a problem with using any
inner qdisc's.

Implemented igb_ndo_set_vf_bw function which is being used
by iproute2 tool. In addition, updated igb_ndo_get_vf_config function
to show the actual rate limit to the user.
The rate limitation can be configured only when the link is up.
The rate limit value can be ranged between 0 and actual
link speed measured in Mbps. A value of '0' disables the rate limit for
this specific VF.
iproute2 usage will be 'ip link set ethX vf Y rate Z'.
After the command is made, the rate will be changed instantly.
To view the current rate limit, use 'ip link show ethX'.
The rates will be zeroed only upon driver reload or a link speed change.
This feature is being supported only by 82576 device.

tipc: Fix port counter handling to correct congestion control
Modifies TIPC's congestion control between a connected port and its
peer so that it works as documented. The following changes have been
made:
1) The counter of the number of messages sent by a port now starts
at zero, rather than one. This prevents the port from reporting port
congestion one message earlier than it was supposed to.
2) The counter of the number of messages sent by a port is now
incremented only if a non-empty message is sent successfully.
This prevents the port from becoming permanently congested if
too many send attempts are unsuccessful because of congestion
(or other reasons). It also removes the risk that empty hand-
shaking messages used during connection setup might cause the
port to report congestion earlier than it was supposed to.
3) The counter of the number of unacknowledged messages received by
a port controlled by an internal TIPC service is now incremented
only if the message is non-empty, in order to be consistent with
the aforementioned changes.
