In case a cpu goes idle but softirqs are pending only an error message is
printed to the console. It may take a very long time until the pending
softirqs will finally be executed. Worst case would be a hanging system.
With this patch the timer tick just continues and the softirqs will be
executed after the next interrupt. Still a delay but better than a
hanging system.
Currently we have at least two device drivers on s390 which under certain
circumstances schedule a tasklet from process context. This is a reason
why we can end up with pending softirqs when going idle. Fixing these
drivers seems to be non-trivial.
However there is no question that the drivers should be fixed.
This patch shouldn't be considered as a bug fix. It just is intended to
keep a system running even if device drivers are buggy.

Our way to handle gart_* functions for CONFIG_GART_IOMMU and
!CONFIG_GART_IOMMU cases is inconsistent.
We have some dummy gart_* functions in !CONFIG_GART_IOMMU case and
also use ifdef CONFIG_GART_IOMMU tricks in pci-dma.c to call some
gart_* functions in only CONFIG_GART_IOMMU case.
This patch removes ifdef CONFIG_GART_IOMMU in pci-dma.c and always use
dummy gart_* functions in iommu.h.

Adds netif_napi_del function which is used to remove the napi struct from
the netdev napi_list in cases where CONFIG_NETPOLL was enabled.
The motivation for adding this is to handle the case in which the number of
queues on a device changes due to a configuration change. Previously the
napi structs for each queue would be left in the list until the netdev was
freed.

Add DCA support in the similar method that it was added to the ixgbe

CPU cache and notify the chipset of that event. This reduces cache

This code adds multiple Tx queue infrastructure much like we

IAM can now be safely enabled and we've verified that it does
