====================
ionic: on-chip descriptors
We start with a couple of house-keeping patches that were originally
presented for 'net', then we add support for on-chip descriptor rings
for tx-push, as well as adding support for rx-push.
I have a patch for the ethtool userland utility that I can send out
once this has been accepted.
v4: added rx-push attributes to ethtool netlink
converted CMB feature from using a priv-flag to using ethtool tx/rx-push
v3: edited commit message to describe interface-down limitation
added warn msg if cmb_inuse alloc fails
removed unnecessary clearing of phy_cmb_pages and cmb_npages
changed cmb_rings_toggle to use cmb_inuse
removed unrelated pci_set_drvdata()
removed unnecessary (u32) cast
added static inline func for writing CMB descriptors
v2: dropped the rx buffers patch

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
