Tariq Toukan 36ea796498 net/mlx4_en: Improve XDP xmit function
Several performance improvements in XDP TX datapath,
including:
- Ring a single doorbell for XDP TX ring per NAPI budget,
  instead of doing it per a lower threshold (was 8).
  This includes removing the flow of immediate doorbell ringing
  in case of a full TX ring.
- Compiler branch predictor hints.
- Calculate values in compile time rather than in runtime.

Performance tests:
Tested on ConnectX3Pro, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
Single queue no-RSS optimization ON.

XDP_TX packet rate:
-------------------------------------
     | Before    | After     | Gain |
IPv4 | 10.3 Mpps | 12.0 Mpps |  17% |
IPv6 | 10.3 Mpps | 12.0 Mpps |  17% |
-------------------------------------

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.
