====================
use appropriate APIs to get interfaces

Under rtnl_lock protection, we should use __dev_get_name/index()
rather than dev_get_name()/index() to find interface handlers
because the former interfaces can help us avoid to change interface
reference counter.

v2 changes:
 - Change return value of nl80211_set_wiphy() to 0 in patch #10
   by johannes's suggestion.
 - Add 'Acked-by' into several patches which were acknowledged by
   corresponding maintainers.

As __cfg80211_rdev_from_attrs(), nl80211_dump_wiphy_parse() and
nl80211_set_wiphy() are all under rtnl_lock protection,
__dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() should be used
to find interface handler in them allowing us to avoid to change
interface reference counter.

atheros: modify statistics code

Following Ben Hutchings's advice on how to fill net_stats in alx [1],
this patch modifies the other atheros ethernet drivers
similarly. Minor whitespace/empty line changes in atl1c and atl1e to
make the code completely consistent between atl1c, atl1e, and alx.

I don't have this hardware, so these patches have only been
compile-tested.

v2 (changes only in atl1):
 - don't set soft_stats.rx_missed_errors (Ben)
 - add errors to soft_stats.{rx,tx}_packets (Ben)
 - add soft_stats.rx_dropped field and update soft_stats.rx_dropped
   instead of netdev->stats (overwritten) outside of the stats
   update function

Detail of the changes (v1):
* atl1/atl1c/atl1e
  - fix collisions computation
  - rx_dropped = rx_rrd_ov
  - rx_over_errors = 0
  - rx_missed_errors = 0
  - X_packets = X_ok + X_errors

* only atl1c/atl1e
  - add rx_rxf_ov to rx_errors

Improve tracing at the driver/core boundary

These patches add static tracpeoints at the driver/core boundary which
record various skb fields likely to be useful for datapath debugging.
On the TX side the boundary is where the core calls ndo_start_xmit, and
on the RX side it is where any of the various exported receive functions
is called.

The set of skb fields is mostly based on what I thought would be
interesting for sfc.

These patches are basically the same as what I sent as an RFC in
November, but rebased.  They now depend on 'net: core: explicitly select
a txq before doing l2 forwarding', so please merge net into net-next
before trying to apply them.  The first patch fixes a code formatting
error left behind after that fix.

The existing net/netif_rx and net/netif_receive_skb trace events
provide little information about the skb, nor do they indicate how it
entered the stack.

Add trace events at entry of each of the exported functions, including
most fields that are likely to be interesting for debugging driver
datapath behaviour.  Split netif_rx() and netif_receive_skb() so that
internal calls are not traced.

The existing net/net_dev_xmit trace event provides little information
about the skb that has been passed to the driver, and it is not
simple to add more since the skb may already have been freed at
the point the event is emitted.

Add a separate trace event before the skb is passed to the driver,
including most fields that are likely to be interesting for debugging
driver datapath behaviour.

Both xen-netfront and xen-netback need to be able to set up the partial
checksum offset of an skb and may also need to recalculate the pseudo-
header checksum in the process. This functionality is currently private
and duplicated between the two drivers.

Patch #1 of this series moves the implementation into the core network code
as there is nothing xen-specific about it and it is potentially useful to
any network driver.
Patch #2 removes the private implementation from netback.
Patch #3 removes the private implementation from netfront.
