1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-17

This series contains updates to mainly igb, with one fix for ixgbe.

Alex does all the changes in the series, starting with adding support
for DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING to improve performance on some platforms.
Modified igb to use the length of the packet instead of the DD status
bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready to be processed.  Modified
the driver to only go through the region in the receive ring that was
designated to be cleaned up, instead of going through the entire ring
on cleanup.  Cleaned up the transmit side, by clearing the transmit
buffer_info only when resetting the rings.  Added a new upper limit for
receive, which is based on the size of a 2K buffer minus padding, which
will allow us to support build_skb going forward.  Fixed ethtool testing
to only sync on the size of the frame that is being tested, instead of
the entire receive buffer.  Updated the handling of page addresses to
always use a void pointer with the consistent name of "va" to indicate
that we are working with a virtual address.  Added a "chicken bit" so
that we can turn off the new receive allocation feature, in the case
where we need to fallback to the legacy receive path.  Added support for
using 3K buffers in order 1 pages the same way we were using 2K buffers
in 4K pages.  Added support for padding packet, since we limit the size
of the frame, we are able to write to an offset within the buffer instead
of having to write at the very start of the buffer.  This allows us to
leaving padding room for things like supporting XDP in the future.
Refactored the receive buffer page management, since there are 2-3 paths
that can be taken depending on what receive modes are enabled, so to
improve maintainability, break out the common bits into their own
functions.  Add support for build_skb, again.  Lastly, fixed a typo in
igb and ixgbe code comments.
