After discovering that wide use of prefetch on modern CPUs
could be a net loss instead of a win, net drivers which were
relying on the implicit inclusion of prefetch.h via the list
headers showed up in the resulting cleanup fallout.  Give
them an explicit include via the following $0.02 script.

 =========================================
 #!/bin/bash
 MANUAL=""
 for i in `git grep -l 'prefetch(.*)' .` ; do
 	grep -q '&lt;linux/prefetch.h&gt;' $i
 	if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
 		continue
 	fi

 	(	echo '?^#include &lt;linux/?a'
 		echo '#include &lt;linux/prefetch.h&gt;'
 		echo .
 		echo w
 		echo q
 	) | ed -s $i &gt; /dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1
 	if [ $? != 0 ]; then
 		echo $i needs manual fixup
 		MANUAL="$i $MANUAL"
 	fi
 done

<title>ixgbevf: Add macvlan support in the set rx mode op</title>

<content type='text'>
Implement setup of unicast address list in the VF driver's set_rx_mode
netdev op.  Unicast addresses are sent to the PF via a mailbox message
and the PF will check if it has room in the RAR table and if so set the
filter for the VF.

<title>ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API</title>

<id>707394972093e2056e1e8cc39be19cf9bcb3e7b3</id>
<content type='text'>
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed()
instead.

For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
ethtool operation.

All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
updated.

Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work

Removed Tx hang detection mechanism from ixgbevf.
This mechanism has no affect and can cause false alarm messages in some
cases. Especially when VF Tx rate limit is turned on.

The same mechanism was removed recently from igbvf.
