bnx2: Pre-initialize struct cpu_reg.

Instead of assigning values for the struct cpu_reg's at runtime, we already know these values at compile time. Therefore, we can use designated initializers, to initialize these structures and not have to incur this assignment cost at run-time.

To make the bnx2 code more consistent, all instances of RX_COPY_THRESH have been changed to BNX2_RX_COPY_THRESH.

bnx2: Remove the rx_offset field from the bnx2 structure.

The rx_offset field is set to a constant value and initialized only once. By replacing all references to the rx_offset field, we can eliminate rx_offset from the bnx2 structure. This will save 4 bytes for every bnx2 instance.

[Added parentheses to the definition of BNX2_RX_OFFSET, as noted by Ben Hutchings.]

bnx2: Add EEH PCI recovery.

Add PCI recovery functions to the driver. The initial pci state is also saved so the the MSI state can be restored during PCI recovery.

bnx2: Allow phy reset to be skipped during chip reset.

Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> found that netconsole would panic when resetting bnx2 devices.

>From Andy:
"The issue is the bnx2_set_link in bnx2_init_nic will print a link-status message before we are fully initialized and ready to start polling. Polling is currently disabled in this state, but since the __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is overloaded to not only try and disable polling but also to make the system aware there is something waiting to be polled, we really have to fix this in drivers.

The problematic call is the one to netif_rx_complete as it tries to remove an entry from the poll_list when there isn't one."

While this netconsole problem should be fixed separately, we really should not reset the PHY when changing ring sizes, MTU, or other similar settings. The PHY reset causes several seconds of unnecessary link disruptions.

bnx2: Update RV2P firmware for 5709.

The new RV2P firmware fixes 2 issues:

1. The jumbo rx buffer page size is now configurable and set to the proper PAGE_SIZE. Before, it was assumed to be always 4K.

2. Driver sometimes would crash when receiving jumbo packets mixed with firmware management packets. This was caused by the old firmware DMA'ing to the wrong address.

bnx2: Zero out context memory for 5709.

We should zero out the context memory for 5709 before each reset. When we resume after suspend for example, the memory may not be zero and the chip may not function correctly.

bnx2: Fix remote PHY initial link state.

On some remote PHY blade systems, the driver receives no initial link interrupt. As a result, the GMII/MII MAC mode does not get setup properly. To fix this problem, we add an initial poll of the link state after chip
reset.

With this change, the setting of the initial carrier state in the init code can be eliminated.

bnx2: Refine remote PHY locking.

bnx2_set_remote_link() should be called under bp->phy_lock to protect against concurrent polling and interrupt calls. This change is needed by the next patch which will add one initial poll of the remote PHY
link status.
