Emil Tantilov 16b359498b ixgbevf: add support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC/WEAK_ORDERING 
Based on commit 5be5955425
("igb: update driver to make use of DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC")
and
commit 7bd1759282 ("igb: Add support for DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING")

Convert the calls to dma_map/unmap_page() to the attributes version
and add DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC/WEAK_ORDERING which should help
improve performance on some platforms.

Move sync_for_cpu call before we perform a prefetch to avoid
invalidating the first 128 bytes of the packet on architectures where
that call may invalidate the cache.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
