      If there isn't a proper NFC firmware image, Bootloader mode will be
skipped.

====================
Perf. optimizations for TCP Recv. Zerocopy

This patchset contains several optimizations for TCP Recv. Zerocopy.

Summarized:
1. It is possible that a read payload is not exactly page aligned -
that there may exist "straggler" bytes that we cannot map into the
caller's address space cleanly. For this, we allow the caller to
provide as argument a "hybrid copy buffer", turning
getsockopt(TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE) into a "hybrid" operation that allows
the caller to avoid a subsequent recvmsg() call to read the
stragglers.

2. Similarly, for "small" read payloads that are either below the size
of a page, or small enough that remapping pages is not a performance
win - we allow the user to short-circuit the remapping operations
entirely and simply copy into the buffer provided.

Some of the patches in the middle of this set are refactors to support
this "short-circuiting" optimization.

3. We allow the user to provide a hint that performing a page zap
operation (and the accompanying TLB shootdown) may not be necessary,
for the provided region that the kernel will attempt to map pages
into. This allows us to avoid this expensive operation while holding
the socket lock, which provides a significant performance advantage.

With all of these changes combined, "medium" sized receive traffic
(multiple tens to few hundreds of KB) see significant efficiency gains
when using TCP receive zerocopy instead of regular recvmsg(). For
example, with RPC-style traffic with 32KB messages, there is a roughly
15% efficiency improvement when using zerocopy. Without these changes,
there is a roughly 60-70% efficiency reduction with such messages when
employing zerocopy.

      net-zerocopy: Defer vm zap unless actually needed. · 94ab9eb9
      Arjun Roy authored 
      Zapping pages is required only if we are calling vm_insert_page into a
region where pages had previously been mapped. Receive zerocopy allows
reusing such regions, and hitherto called zap_page_range() before
calling vm_insert_page() in that range.

zap_page_range() can also be triggered from userspace with
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). If userspace is configured to call this before
reusing a segment, or if there was nothing mapped at this virtual
address to begin with, we can avoid calling zap_page_range() under the
socket lock. That said, if userspace does not do that, then we are
still responsible for calling zap_page_range().

This patch adds a flag that the user can use to hint to the kernel
that a zap is not required. If the flag is not set, or if an older
user application does not have a flags field at all, then the kernel
calls zap_page_range as before. Also, if the flag is set but a zap is
still required, the kernel performs that zap as necessary. Thus
incorrectly indicating that a zap can be avoided does not change the
correctness of operation. It also increases the batchsize for
vm_insert_pages and prefetches the page struct for the batch since
we're about to bump the refcount.

An alternative mechanism could be to not have a flag, assume by
default a zap is not needed, and fall back to zapping if needed.
However, this would harm performance for older applications for which
a zap is necessary, and thus we implement it with an explicit flag
so newer applications can opt in.

When using RPC-style traffic with medium sized (tens of KB) RPCs, this
change yields an efficency improvement of about 30% for QPS/CPU usage.
