When the interface is put in bridged mode, destination mac
addresses are unknown to firmware. So packets take a slow
path (lower priority) in firmware reducing performance.
Firmware can cache limited number of remote unicast mac
addresses for certain interval, if "dynamic mac learning"
mode is enabled.
Driver needs to enable this "mac learning" mode in firmware.
Currently this is done through net device class sysfs entry,
possibly this can also be done upon netlink notifications to
from bridge.

ports (interfaces) of same / different NIC boards
independent, in terms of their link watchdog and

o Move quick checks for link status and temperature
in timer callback, schedule watchdog task only if
link status changed or temperature reached critical

This also fixes deadlock when thermal panic occurs,

netxen: fix deadlock on dev close
The tx ring accounting fix in commit cb2107be43
("netxen: fix tx ring accounting") introduced intermittent
deadlock when inteface is going down.
This was possibly combined effect of speculative tx pause,
calling netif_tx_lock instead of queue lock and unclean
synchronization with napi which could end up unmasking
interrupt.

This forces every update of tx ring producer to check for
availability of space for next full TSO command. Earlier
firmware control commands didn't care to pause tx queue.
Stop the tx queue if there's not enough space to transmit one full
LSO command left on the tx ring after current transmit. This avoids
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY after checking distance between producer
and consumer on every cpu.
Restart the tx queue only if we have cleaned up enough tx
descriptors.
