With the patch applied the number of instruction events is 1% less and
number of mispredicted branch events is 5% less under multistream TCP
traffic load close to line rate.

To delay packets from a particular TX queue by a particular time, write a value
into the TX Pace table s.t. pace time <= TX Pace Clock Period * (2 ^ pace value)
- the TX pace clock is 1/13 of the system clock, so its period should be 104 or
52 ns depending on whether turbo mode is active.
EFX_TX_PACE_CLOCK_BASE added by me.

It solves locking problem when EFSYS_MEM_ALLOC is called in
the context holding a mutex (not allowed to sleep).
E.g. on interface bring up or multicast addresses addition.

It is one more place missed in the previous fix.
Most likely is was just memory leak on the error handling path since
typically efsys_mem_t is filled in by zeros on allocation.

Before the common code had hard coded limits on the IDs RXQs and TXQs could
be created with which were suited for the Windows driver with VMQ, and so
would prevent queues with IDs greater than or equal to 259 (for TXQs) or 768
(for RXQs) from being created. This change allows the limits to be set in
efsys.h, so that all 1024 queues can be created during new manftest tests.
Also, the descriptor cache sizes were also hard coded to values suited to
the smaller queue counts, and so it was necessary to make them configurable
as well.

Previously the driver's view was the expected outcome of any
reconfiguration even if that reconfiguration failed.

We must not enable RX queues with random parameters when they are
mapped into a VF with an untrusted driver. It's probably not a good
idea to do this anyway, so take this bit out of the table test masks.

Otherwise when processing finally comes to efx_tx_qdesc_post() it could
be insufficient space between reaped and added to post pending
descriptors.

efx_ev_mcdi() does not assert or check that all event handlers it
calls are non-null. Add assertions at the top for all required
event handlers, as some events (in the case of this bug, monitor
events) are rare.

It makes sfxge_tso_state smaller and even makes tso_start_new_packet()
few bytes smaller. Data used to calculate packet size are used nearby,
so it should be no problems with cache etc.
