Use multple Tx netdev queues for sunvnet by supporting a one-to-one
mapping between vnet_port and Tx queue. Provide a ndo_select_queue
indirection (vnet_select_queue()) which selects the queue based
on the peer that would be selected in vnet_start_xmit()

Move Rx packet procssing to the NAPI poll callback.
Disable VIO interrupt and unconditioanlly go into NAPI
context from vnet_event.
Note that we want to minimize the number of LDC
STOP/START messages sent. Specifically, do not send a STOP
message if vnet_walk_rx does not read all the available descriptors
because of the NAPI budget limitation. Instead, note the end index
as part of port state, and resume from this index when the
next poll callback is triggered.

This patch allows an admin to set the MTU on a sunvnet device to arbitrary
values between the minimum (68) and maximum (65535) IPv4 packet sizes.

This patch removes pre-allocated transmit buffers and instead directly maps
pending packets on demand. This saves O(n^2) maximum-sized transmit buffers,
for n hosts on a vswitch, as well as a copy to those buffers.
Single-stream TCP throughput linux-solaris dropped ~5% for 1500-byte MTU,
but linux-linux at 1500-bytes increased ~20%.

This patch upgrades the sunvnet driver to support VIO protocol version 1.6.
In particular, it adds per-port MTU negotiation, allowing MTUs other than
ETH_FRAMELEN with ports using newer VIO protocol versions.

When sending out a burst of packets across multiple descriptors,
it is sufficient to send one LDC "start" trigger for
the first descriptor, so do not send an LDC "start" for every
pass through vnet_start_xmit. Similarly, it is sufficient to send
one "DRING_STOPPED" trigger for the last dring (and if that
fails, hold off and send the trigger later).
Optimizations to the number of LDC messages helps avoid
filling up the LDC channel with superfluous LDC messages
that risk triggering flow-control on the channel,
and also boosts performance.

At the tail of vnet_event(), if we hit the maybe_tx_wakeup()
condition, we try to take the netif_tx_lock() in the
recv-interrupt-context and can deadlock with dev_watchdog().
vnet_event() should schedule maybe_tx_wakeup() as a tasklet
to avoid this deadlock

Moves the Sun drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/sun/ and make
the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net> suggested removing the
sun* prefix on the driver names. This type of change I will
leave up to the driver maintainers.
