The Tilera hypervisor shipped in releases up through MDE 4.1 launches
the client operating system (i.e. Linux) at privilege level 1 (PL1).
Starting with MDE 4.2, as part of the work to enable KVM, the
Tilera hypervisor launches Linux at PL2 instead.
This commit makes the KERNEL_PL option default to 2 for tilegx, while
still saying at 1 for tilepro, which doesn't have an updated hypervisor.
It also explains how and when you might want to choose another value.
In addition, we change a small buglet in the on-chip Ethernet driver,
where we were failing to use the KERNEL_PL constant in an API call.
To make the transition cleaner, this change also provides the updated
hv_init() API for the new hypervisor that supports announcing Linux's
compiled-in PL, so the hypervisor can generate a suitable error in the
case of a mismatched hypervisor and Linux binary.

This patch simply makes the tilegx net driver call request_irq with a
non-null name. It makes the output in /proc/interrupts more obvious, but
also helps tools that don't expect to find null there.

This change correctly computes the header length and data length in
the fragments to avoid a bug where we would end up with extremely
slow performance. Also adopt use of skb_frag_size() accessor.

The original driver implementation assumed that for TSO, all the
payload data would be in the frags. This isn't always true; change
the driver to support payload data at skb->data between
"skb_transport_offset(skb) + tcp_hdrlen(skb)" and "skb->hdr_len",
followed by the data in the frags.

This change adds support for the tilegx network driver based on the
GXIO IORPC support in the tilegx software stack, using the on-chip
mPIPE packet processing engine.
