[net-next-2.6 PATCH 1/4] e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses

[net-next-2.6 PATCH 1/4] e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com>

In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which
are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info.  When
cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated
buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses
on skb fields.

[net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/4] e1000e: reduce writes of RX producer ptr

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com>

Reduce number of writes to RX producer pointer.   When alloc'ing RX
buffers, only write the RX producer pointer once every
E1000_RX_BUFFER_WRITE (16) buffers created.
