To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against
drivers/net/ethernet/.
$ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \
while read file ; do \
codespell -w $file; \
done
I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h

Update the dates for files that have been added to in 2012-2013.
Drop the 'Solarstorm' brand name that's still lingering here.

This requirement was meant to be implied in the name 'status page'.
One out-of-tree VF driver allocates a buffer using the structure size
and not a full page - hence the current odd specification - but in
practice that allocation will be padded and aligned to at least 4KB.
Therefore, we can specify this and have the option to extend the
structure up to 4KB without worrying about VF drivers using odd-shaped
buffers.

On the SFC9000 family, each port has 1024 Virtual Interfaces (VIs),
each with an RX queue, a TX queue, an event queue and a mailbox
register. These may be assigned to up to 127 SR-IOV virtual functions
per port, with up to 64 VIs per VF.
We allocate an extra channel (IRQ and event queue only) to receive
requests from VF drivers.
There is a per-port limit of 4 concurrent RX queue flushes, and queue
flushes may be initiated by the MC in response to a Function Level
Reset (FLR) of a VF. Therefore, when SR-IOV is in use, we submit all
flush requests via the MC.
The RSS indirection table is shared with VFs, so the number of RX
queues used in the PF is limited to the number of VIs per VF.
This is almost entirely the work of Steve Hodgson, formerly
shodgson@solarflare.com.
