      Neterion: New driver: register set - vxge-reg.h · 66d97fed
      Ramkrishna Vepa authored
      - Complete Register map details of Neterion Inc's X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe I/O
        Virtualized Server Adapter.
      
      - No change from previous submission.
      
      - Changes in previous submissions -
      - Incorporated following comments from Ben Hutchings
              - Use original macros for endian checks
              - Remove VXGE_OS_PLATFORM_* macros as they are unused.
              - Converted multiple bVALX macros into single with additional
                width parameter and renamed it to vxge_bVALn.
              - Using __packed instead of pragma pack(1)
              - Added a comment of the use of a hw swapper so driver code is
                portable (does not have to change the byte order for register
                access as well as dma operations) on different ENDIAN platforms.
              - Using the <linux/pci_regs.h> definitions instead of redefing them.
              - Using the PCI capabilities registers in <linux/pci_regs.h>
                instead of redefing them.

      - vxge driver help text file.
      
      - No change from previous submission.
      
      - Changes in previous submissions -
        Removed the performance tuning section with instructions to disable
        time stamps and change sysctl settings - Reported by Dave Miller
        General clean up.
       - Removed tx/rx_pause, exec_mode, tx_steering_type, rx_steering_type, gro,
         intr_type, rx & tx max_indicate_pkts and exec_mode loadable parameters. The
         driver default settings work well in most if not all cases. Another patch
         to configure these parameters with ethtool will be released in the future -
         Reported by Stephen Hemminger.
      - Incorporated following fixes based on comments from Ben Hutchings
              Removed references to earlier kernel versions.
              Removed sections that are similar for all drivers -
                      Load/Unload
                      Identifying the adapter/interface
                      Boot time configuration
              Removed loadable parameter -
                      NAPI - Napi is always enabled.
                      rx_steering_type & ring_blocks - The driver default settings
                      work well in most if not all cases. Another patch to configure
                      these parameters with ethtool will be released in the future.
              Removed ethtool support section - No need to duplicate ethtool
                      docs here.
              Removed Known Issue on SUSE 9 - Doesn't apply when using a
                      current kernel.
              Removed Common Problems section - These don't apply to in-tree modules.
              Removed Available Downloads section - Not sure this belongs in-tree.
              Removed Copyright information - This notice doesn't belong in
                      the kernel.
