<title>vxlan: use dev-&gt;needed_headroom instead of dev-&gt;hard_header_len</title>

<content type='text'>
When we mirror packets from a vxlan tunnel to other device,
the mirror device should see the same packets (that is, without
outer header). Because vxlan tunnel sets dev-&gt;hard_header_len,
tcf_mirred() resets mac header back to outer mac, the mirror device
actually sees packets with outer headers

Vxlan tunnel should set dev-&gt;needed_headroom instead of
dev-&gt;hard_header_len, like what other ip tunnels do. This fixes
the above problem.

Add software TSO support for FEC.
This feature allows to improve outbound throughput performance.

Tested on imx6dl sabresd board, running iperf tcp tests shows:
- 16.2% improvement comparing with FEC SG patch
- 82% improvement comparing with NO SG &amp; TSO patch

$ ethtool -K eth0 tso on
$ iperf -c 10.192.242.167 -t 3 &amp;
[  3] local 10.192.242.108 port 35388 connected with 10.192.242.167 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0- 3.0 sec   181 MBytes   506 Mbits/sec

During the testing, CPU loading is 30%.
Since imx6dl FEC Bandwidth is limited to SOC system bus bandwidth, the
performance with SW TSO is a milestone.

IP header checksum is calcalated by network layer in default.
To support software TSO, it is better to use HW calculate the
IP header checksum.

FEC hw checksum feature request the checksum field in frame
is zero, otherwise the calculative CRC is not correct.

For segmentated TCP packet, HW calculate the IP header checksum again,
it doesn't bring any impact. For SW TSO, HW calculated checksum bring
better performance.

Make the code more readable and easy to support other features like
SG, TSO, moving the common transmit function to one api.

And the patch also factorize the getting BD index to it own function.

<content type='text'>
With some specific configuration (VT6105M on Soekris 5510 and depending
on the device at the other end), fragmented packets were not transmitted
when forcing 100 full-duplex with autoneg disable.

This fix now write full-duplex chips register when forcing full or
half-duplex not only when autoneg is enable.

With some specific configuration (VT6105M on Soekris 5510 and depending
on the device at the other end), fragmented packets were not transmitted
when forcing 100 full-duplex with autoneg disable.

This fix now write full-duplex chips register when forcing full or
half-duplex not only when autoneg is enable.
