The oldest tg3 devices had large rx producer ring BD caches. Back then,
it made sense to make the BD cache replenish threshold only a function
of the number of rx buffers posted by the driver. Since then, the BD
cache sizes have shrunk to 25% of their original size and, in some
cases, the ring sizes have quadrupled in size. Under such conditions,
static BD cache replenish thresholds no longer match the hardware
constraints.
This patch attempts to factor in the BD cache size into the bd cache
replenish strategy, taking the existing hardware bugs into account.

The 5717, 5718, 5719 A0, and 5720 A0 has a bug where the rx_discards
statistic counter will increment when dropping unwanted multicast
frames. This patch works around the problem by attempting to
recreate the data using other means. The resulting value will not be
accurate, but it can still serve as a problem indicator.

This changes offload setting behaviour to what I think is correct:
- offloads set via ethtool mean what admin wants to use (by default
he wants 'em all)
- offloads set via ioctl() mean what userspace is expecting to get
(this limits which admin wishes are granted)
- TUN_NOCHECKSUM is ignored, as it might cause broken packets when
forwarded (ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY means that checksum
was verified, not that it can be ignored)
If TUN_NOCHECKSUM is implemented, it should set skb->csum_* and
skb->ip_summed (= CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) for known protocols and let others
be verified by kernel when necessary.
TUN_NOCHECKSUM handling was introduced by commit

- the MSS value is actually contained in a 11 bits wide (0x7ff) field.
The extra bit in the former MSSMask did encompass the TSO command
bit ("LargeSend") as well (0xfff). Oops.
- the Tx descriptor layout is not the same through the whole chipset
family. The 8169 documentation, the 8168c documentation and Realtek's
drivers (8.020.00, 1.019.00, 6.014.00) highlight two layouts:
1. 8169, 8168 up to 8168b (included) and 8101
2. {8102e, 8168c} and beyond
- notwithstanding the "first descriptor" and "last descriptor" bits, the
same Tx descriptor content is enforced when a packet consists of several
descriptors. The chipsets are documented to require it.

Several tests in the ipv6 routing code check IFF_LOOPBACK, and
allowing stacking such as VLAN'ing on top of loopback results in a
netdevice which reports IFF_LOOPBACK but really isn't the loopback
device.
Instead of spamming the ipv6 routing code with even more special tests,
simply disallow VLAN over loopback.
The result of this patch is:
