Add prefetches of the skb and the next rx descriptor to speed up rx path.
Use prefetchw() for the skb [suggested by Eric Dumazet].
The rx descriptor is in skb->data which is mapped for streaming mode DMA.
Eric Dumazet pointed out that we should not prefetch the data before
dma_sync. So we prefetch only if dma_sync is no_op on the system.

The bonding driver calls ndo_vlan_rx_register() while holding bond->lock.
The bnx2 driver calls bnx2_netif_stop() to stop the rx handling while
changing the vlgrp. The call also stops the cnic driver which sleeps
while the bond->lock is held and cause the warning.
This code path only needs to stop the NAPI rx handling while we are
changing the vlgrp. Since no reset is going to occur, there is no need
to stop cnic in this case. By adding a parameter to bnx2_netif_stop()
to skip stopping cnic, we can avoid the warning.

It has been reported that under certain heavy traffic conditions in MSI-X
mode, the driver can lose an MSI-X vector causing all packets in the
associated rx/tx ring pair to be dropped. The problem is caused by
the chip dropping the write to unmask the MSI-X vector by the kernel
(when migrating the IRQ for example).
This can be prevented by increasing the GRC timeout value for these
register read and write operations.
Thanks to Dell for helping us debug this problem.

The bnx2 driver calls netif_napi_add() for all the NAPI structs during
->probe() time but not all of them will be used if we're not in MSI-X
mode. This creates a problem for netpoll since it will poll all the
NAPI structs in the dev_list whether or not they are scheduled, resulting
in a crash when we access structure fields not initialized for that vector.
We fix it by moving the netif_napi_add() call to ->open() after the number
of IRQ vectors has been determined.

The MSI-X table size needs to be properly set before pci_enable_msix()
is called. But on certain machines, the writes are delayed and the
MSI-X table size is incorrectly read. By reading the
BNX2_PCI_MSIX_CONTROL register, the writes are flushed and now
ensure that the MSI-X table is set correctly before MSI-X
is enable on the device.

If bnx2 schedules a reset via the reset_task, e.g., due to a TX
timeout, it's possible for the NIC to be disabled with packets
pending for transmit. In this case, napi_disable will loop forever,
eventually crashing the kernel. This patch moves the disable of
the device to after the napi_disable call.
