Commit caacf05e5ad1abf causes big drop of UDP loop back performance.
The cause of the regression is that we do not cache the local output
routes. Each time we send a datagram from unconnected UDP socket,
the kernel allocates a dst_entry and adds it to the rt_uncached_list.
It creates lock contention on the rt_uncached_lock.

Add 6 new devices and one modified device, based on
information from laptop vendor Windows drivers.
Sony provides a driver with two new devices using
a Gobi 2k+ layout (1199:68a5 and 1199:68a9). The
Sony driver also adds a non-standard QMI/net
interface to the already supported 1199:9011
Gobi device. We do not know whether this is an
alternate interface number or an additional
interface which might be present, but that doesn't
really matter.
Lenovo provides a driver supporting 4 new devices:
- MC7770 (1199:901b) with standard Gobi 2k+ layout
- MC7700 (0f3d:68a2) with layout similar to MC7710
- MC7750 (114f:68a2) with layout similar to MC7710
- EM7700 (1199:901c) with layout similar to MC7710
Note regaring the three devices similar to MC7710:
The Windows drivers only support interface #8 on these
devices. The MC7710 can support QMI/net functions on
interface #19 and #20 as well, and this driver is
verified to work on interface #19 (a firmware bug is
suspected to prevent #20 from working).
We do not enable these additional interfaces until they
either show up in a Windows driver or are verified to
work in some other way. Therefore limiting the new
devices to interface #8 for now.

Instead of class/subclass/protocol the vendor use fixed
interface numbers for each function, and the Windows
drivers use these numbers to match driver and function.
The driver has had its own interface number whitelisting
code to simulate this functionality. Replace this with
generic interface number matching now that the USB subsystem
support is there. This
- removes the need for a driver_info structure per
interface number,
- avoids running the probe function for unsupported
interfaces, and
- simplifies the code.

This patch fixes several problems in the call path of
netpoll_send_skb_on_dev():
1. Disable IRQ's before calling netpoll_send_skb_on_dev().
2. All the callees of netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() should use
rcu_dereference_bh() to dereference ->npinfo.
3. Rename arp_reply() to netpoll_arp_reply(), the former is too generic.

It seems we can not update the crtc scanout address. After disabling
crtc, update to base address do not take effect after crtc being
reenable leading to at least frame being scanout from the old crtc
base address. Disabling crtc display request lead to same behavior.
So after changing the vram address if we don't keep crtc disabled
we will have the GPU trying to read some random system memory address
with some iommu this will broke the crtc engine and will lead to
broken display and iommu error message.
So to avoid this, disable crtc. For flicker less boot we will need
to avoid moving the vram start address.
This patch should also fix :

Here's a quote of the comment about the BUG macro from asm-generic/bug.h:
Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out; one
example might be detecting data structure corruption in the middle
of an operation that can't be backed out of. If the (sub)system
can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality,
it's probably not BUG-worthy.
If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up
really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where
users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly.
In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides,
the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel
side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag
right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to
TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this
will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply
remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal
consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in
this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it.
