Bryan O'Sullivan 0fd41363e0 IB/ipath: remove stale references to userspace SMA
When we first submitted a userspace subnet management agent, it was
rejected, so we left it out of the final driver submission.  This patch
removes a number of vestigial references to it.

Bryan O'Sullivan 13aef4942c [PATCH] IB/ipath: reduce overhead on receive interrupts
Also count the number of interrupts where that works (fastrcvint).  On any
interrupt where the port0 head and tail registers are not equal, just call the
ipath_kreceive code without reading the interrupt status, thus saving the
approximately 0.25usec processor stall waiting for the read to return.  If any
other interrupt bits are set, or head==tail, take the normal path, but that
has been reordered to handle read ahead of pioavail.  Also no longer call
ipath_kreceive() from ipath_qcheck(), because that just seems to make things
worse, and isn't really buying us anything, these days.

Also no longer loop in ipath_kreceive(); better to not hold things off too
long (I saw many cases where we would loop 4-8 times, and handle thousands (up
to 3500) in a single call).

Bryan O'Sullivan 108ecf0d90 IB/ipath: misc driver support code
EEPROM support, interrupt handling, statistics gathering, and write
combining management for x86_64.

A note regarding i2c: The Atmel EEPROM hardware we use looks like an
i2c device electrically, but is not i2c compliant at all from a
functional perspective.  We tried using the kernel's i2c support to
talk to it, but failed.

Normal i2c devices have a single 7-bit or 10-bit i2c address that they
respond to.  Valid 7-bit addresses range from 0x03 to 0x77.  Addresses
0x00 to 0x02 and 0x78 to 0x7F are special reserved addresses
(e.g. 0x00 is the "general call" address.)  The Atmel device, on the
other hand, responds to ALL addresses.  It's designed to be the only
device on a given i2c bus.  A given i2c device address corresponds to
the memory address within the i2c device itself.

At least one reason why the linux core i2c stuff won't work for this
is that it prohibits access to reserved addresses like 0x00, which are
really valid addresses on the Atmel devices.
