In order to enable HW LRO, both the "hw_lro" sysctl in the mlx5en(4) config
space must be set, and the ifconfig(8) LRO capability must be set. Any other
settings will disable HW LRO.

By allocating the worst case size channel structure array
at attach time we can eliminate various NULL checks in the
fast path. And also reduce the chance for use-after-free
issues in the transmit fast path.
This change is also a requirement for implementing
backpressure support.

Writing to the debug stats variable must be locked,
else serialization will be lost which might cause
various kernel panics due to creating and destroying
sysctls out of order.
Make sure the sysctl context is initialized after freeing
the sysctl nodes, else they can be freed twice.

1) Don't exceed the drivers own hardcoded TX inline limit.
The blueflame register size can be much greater than the hardcoded limit
for inlining. Make sure we don't exceed the drivers own limit, because this
also means that the maximum number of TX fragments becomes invalid and
then memory size assumptions in the TX path no longer hold up.
2) Make sure the mlx5_query_min_inline() function returns an error code.
3) Header inlining is required when using TSO.
4) Catch failure to compute inline header size for TSO.
5) Add support for UDP when computing inline header size.
6) Fix for inlining issues with regards to DSCP.
Make sure we inline 4 bytes beyond the ethernet and/or
VLAN header to workaround a hardware bug extracting
the DSCP field from the IPv4/v6 header.

The hardware queues are deep enough currently and using the DRBR and associated
callbacks only leads to more task switching in the TX path. The is also a race
setting the queue_state which can lead to hung TX rings.

Add support for setting the bandwidth limit as a ratio rather than in bits per
second. The ratio must be an integer number between 1 and 100 inclusivly.

The receive side scaling stride parameter is a value which define the interval
between active receive side queues. The traffic for the inactive queues is
redirected to the nearest active queue by use of modulus. The default value
of this parameter is one, which means all receive side queues are used.
The point of this feature is to redirect more traffic to fewer receive side
queues in order to take more advantage of sorted large receive offload,
sorted LRO. The sorted LRO works better when more packets are accumulated
per service interval.

To access the data, set sysctl dev.mce.N.conf.debug_stats to 1.
This enables the sysctl node dev.mce.N.hw_ctx_debug. Its content is
the mapping of each channel' number to used receive queue and associated
completion queue, set of the transmit queues numbers and corresponding
completion queues.
Trimmed example output:
channel 30 rq 188 cq 1085
channel 30 tc 0 sq 187 cq 1084
channel 31 rq 191 cq 1087
channel 31 tc 0 sq 190 cq 1086

The DSCP feature is controlled using a set of sysctl(8) fields under
the qos sysctl directory entry for mlx5en(4).
For Routable RoCE QPs, the DSCP should be set in the QP's address path.
The DSCP's value is derived from the traffic class.

By default reading the diagnostic counters is disabled. The firmware
decides which counters are supported and only those supported show up
in the dev.mce.X.diagnostics sysctl tree.
To enable reading of diagnostic counters set one or more of the
following sysctls to one:
dev.mce.X.conf.diag_general_enable=1
dev.mce.X.conf.diag_pci_enable=1

- Add new sysctl node to control the transmit packet bufring.
- Add optimised version of the transmit routine which output packets
directly to the DMA ring instead of using bufring in case the transmit
lock is congested. This can reduce the number of taskswitches which in
turn influence the overall system CPU usage, depending on the
workload.
- Add " TX" suffix to debug name for transmit mutexes to silence some
witness warnings about aquiring duplicate locks having same name.

This patch implements a sysctl which allows setting a factor, N, for
how many work queue elements can be generated before requiring a
completion event. When a completion event happens the code simulates N
completion events instead of only one. When draining a transmit queue,
N-1 NOPs are transmitted at most, to force generation of the final
completion event. Further a timer is running every HZ ticks to flush
any remaining data off the transmit queue when the tx_completion_fact
> 1.
The goal of this feature is to reduce the PCI bandwidth needed when
transmitting data.
