[PATCH] A new 10GB Ethernet Driver by Chelsio Communications
A Linux driver for the Chelsio 10Gb Ethernet Network Controller by Chelsio
(http://www.chelsio.com). This driver supports the Chelsio N210 NIC and is
backward compatible with the Chelsio N110 model 10Gb NICs. It supports
AMD64, EM64T and x86 systems.

- my3126.c is unused (because t1_my3126_ops isn't used anywhere)
- what are the EXTRA_CFLAGS in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile for?
- $(cxgb-y) in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile seems to be unneeded
- completely unused global functions:
- espi.c: t1_espi_get_intr_counts
- sge.c: t1_sge_get_intr_counts
- the following functions can be made static:
- sge.c: t1_espi_workaround
- sge.c: t1_sge_tx
- subr.c: __t1_tpi_read
- subr.c: __t1_tpi_write
- subr.c: t1_wait_op_done

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.
A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4
Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
t1_pci_read_config_4
adapter_name
t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.
Why have useless dead code like:
/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+ u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+ 1. Read master interrupt register.
+ 2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+ 3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

step 1: kill all the OS wrappers.
And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
really supported? Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
struct net_device.

Driver modified as suggested by Pekka Enberg, Stephen Hemminger and Andrian
Bunk. Reduces the size of the driver to ~260k.
- clean up tabs
- removed my3126.c
- removed 85% of suni1x10gexp_regs.h
- removed 80% of regs.h
- removed various calls, renamed variables/functions.
- removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep)
- removed dead code
- dropped redundant casts in osdep.h
- dropped redundant check of kfree
- dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff)
- reduced number of #ifdefs
- use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc
- Add information about known issues with the driver
- Add information about authors
