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>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

The struct nic_operations is just function pointers and should be

This is a stab at replacing old ethtool phys_id with set_phys_id
on the Qlogic 10Gb driver. Compile tested only.

Not sure if set_led_cfg will flash continuously, or needs
to be replaced by ETHTOOL_ID_ON/ETHTOOL_ID_OFF

Removing usage of rtnl_lock() to protect firmware interface registers.
These registers are accessed in some worker threads and can create a
deadlock if rtnl_lock is taken by upper layers while the worker is still
pending.
We remove rtnl_lock and use a driver mutex just while mailboxes are
accessed.
