Tariq Toukan 9bcee89ac4 net/mlx4_en: Improve receive data-path
Several small performance improvements in RX datapath,
including:
- Compiler branch predictor hints.
- Replace a multiplication with a shift operation.
- Minimize variables scope.
- Write-prefetch for packet header.
- Avoid trinary-operator ("?") when value can be preset in a matching
  branch.
- Save a branch by updating RX ring doorbell within
  mlx4_en_refill_rx_buffers(), which now returns void.

Performance tests:
Tested on ConnectX3Pro, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
Single queue no-RSS optimization ON
(enable by ethtool -L <interface> rx 1).

XDP_DROP packet rate:
Same (28.1 Mpps), lower CPU utilization (from ~100% to ~92%).

Drop packets in TC:
-------------------------------------
     | Before    | After     | Gain |
IPv4 | 4.14 Mpps | 4.18 Mpps |   1% |
-------------------------------------

XDP_TX packet rate:
-------------------------------------
     | Before    | After     | Gain |
IPv4 | 10.1 Mpps | 10.3 Mpps |   2% |
IPv6 | 10.1 Mpps | 10.3 Mpps |   2% |
-------------------------------------

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
