The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

As a first step in moving from LRO to GRO, revert commit af40da894e
("IPoIB: add LRO support"). Also eliminate the ethtool set_flags
callback which isn't needed anymore. Finally, we need to include
<linux/sched.h> directly to get the declaration of restart_syscall()
(which used to be included implicitly through <linux/inet_lro.h>).

The help text for INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG refers to "ipoib_debugfs,"
which no longer exists. Correct this to talk about the files under
debugfs that are really created.

Connected mode is now tested and used by lots of people. No need to
hide it under CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

Add "ipoib_use_lro" module parameter to enable LRO and an
"ipoib_lro_max_aggr" module parameter to set the max number of packets
to be aggregated. Make LRO controllable and LRO statistics accessible
through ethtool.

The following patch adds experimental support for IPoIB connected
mode, as defined by the draft from the IETF ipoib working group. The
idea is to increase performance by increasing the MTU from the maximum
of 2K (theoretically 4K) supported by IPoIB on top of UD. With this
code, I'm able to get 800MByte/sec or more with netperf without
options on a Mellanox 4x back-to-back DDR system.
Some notes on code:
1. SRQ is used for scalability to large cluster sizes
2. Only RC connections are used (UC does not support SRQ now)
3. Retry count is set to 0 since spec draft warns against retries
4. Each connection is used for data transfers in only 1 direction, so
each connection is either active(TX) or passive (RX). 2 sides that
want to communicate create 2 connections.
5. Each active (TX) connection has a separate CQ for send completions -
this keeps the code simple without CQ resize and other tricks
6. To detect stale passive side connections (where the remote side is
down), we keep an LRU list of passive connections (updated once per
second per connection) and destroy a connection after it has been
unused for several seconds. The LRU rule makes it possible to avoid
scanning connections that have recently been active.

Don't allow CONFIG_INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG to be disabled unless
CONFIG_EMBEDDED is selected. We want users (and especially distros)
to have this turned on unless they really need to save space, because
by the time we want debugging output, it's usually too late to rebuild
a kernel. The debugging output can be controlled at runtime via the
debug_level module parameter in sysfs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
