2. Use sysctls for TRACE_LRO_CNT and TRACE_TSO_PKT_LEN
3. remove unused mtx tx_lock
4. bind taskqueue kernel thread to the appropriate cpu core
5. when tx_ring is full, stop further transmits till at least 1/16th of the Tx Ring is empty. In our case 1K entries. Also if there are rx_pkts to process, put the taskqueue thread to sleep for 100ms, before enabling interrupts.
6. Use rx_pkt_threshold of 128.

- Move all bitmap related functions from bitops.h to bitmap.h, similar
to what Linux does.
- Apply some minor code cleanup and simplifications to optimize the
generated code when using static inline functions.
- Implement the following list of bitmap functions which are needed by
drm-next and ibcore:
- bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off()
- bitmap_find_next_zero_area()
- bitmap_or()
- bitmap_and()
- bitmap_xor()
- Add missing include directives to the qlnxe driver
