Add prefetches of the skb and the next rx descriptor to speed up rx path.

Use prefetchw() for the skb [suggested by Eric Dumazet].

The rx descriptor is in skb->data which is mapped for streaming mode DMA.
Eric Dumazet pointed out that we should not prefetch the data before
dma_sync.  So we prefetch only if dma_sync is no_op on the system.

devices. I already tested it for bridge, bonding, bridge over bonding,
and bonding over bridge. It looks fine now.

To make bridge and bonding support netpoll, we need to adjust
some netpoll generic code. This patch does the following things:

1) introduce two new priv_flags for struct net_device:
   IFF_IN_NETPOLL which identifies we are processing a netpoll;
   IFF_DISABLE_NETPOLL is used to disable netpoll support for a device
   at run-time;

2) introduce one new method for netdev_ops:
   ->ndo_netpoll_cleanup() is used to clean up netpoll when a device is
     removed.

3) introduce netpoll_poll_dev() which takes a struct net_device * parameter;
   export netpoll_send_skb() and netpoll_poll_dev() which will be used later;

4) hide a pointer to struct netpoll in struct netpoll_info, ditto.

5) introduce ->real_dev for struct netpoll.

6) introduce a new status NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAE, which is used to disable
   netconsole before releasing a slave, to avoid deadlocks.

need two atomic operations (and associated dirtying) per incoming
packet.

RCU conversion is pretty much needed :

1) Add a new structure, called "struct socket_wq" to hold all fields
that will need rcu_read_lock() protection (currently: a
wait_queue_head_t and a struct fasync_struct pointer).

[Future patch will add a list anchor for wakeup coalescing]

2) Attach one of such structure to each "struct socket" created in
sock_alloc_inode().

3) Respect RCU grace period when freeing a "struct socket_wq"

4) Change sk_sleep pointer in "struct sock" by sk_wq, pointer to "struct
socket_wq"

5) Change sk_sleep() function to use new sk->sk_wq instead of
sk->sk_sleep

6) Change sk_has_sleeper() to wq_has_sleeper() that must be used inside
a rcu_read_lock() section.

7) Change all sk_has_sleeper() callers to :
  - Use rcu_read_lock() instead of read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
  - Use wq_has_sleeper() to eventually wakeup tasks.
  - Use rcu_read_unlock() instead of read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)

8) sock_wake_async() is modified to use rcu protection as well.

9) Exceptions :
  macvtap, drivers/net/tun.c, af_unix use integrated "struct socket_wq"
instead of dynamically allocated ones. They dont need rcu freeing.
