On every tx the flow worker is triggered. When running high
throughput data this causes an excessive amount of times the worker
gets activated. This patch starts scheduling the worker more relaxed
once outstanding tx has reached a certain depth.

When there is no room in the ring for rxbufpost an error is logged,
however this happens quite frequently and can be considered normal
and is certainly recoverable. This patch changes the erorr into
a normal msgbuf log.

The physical addresses being used by pcie and msgbuf were using
a cast to long, which incorrectly caused it to limit the address
to 32bit. Now explicit u64 is used where needed.

The functions brcmu_pkt_buf_free_skb() and release_firmware() test whether
their argument is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around
the call is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Msgbuf is using GFP_ATOMIC where GFP_KERNEL is also sufficient. On
some platforms the coherent DMA memory is very limited when using
GFP_ATOMIC. This patch changes usage of GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL and
uses worker to make this possible for creation of flowring.

This patch will add the msgbuf protocol. This protocol is used by
the soon to be added new bus interface PCIe. Msgbuf is a protocol
where most data is and remains located on the host (driver) side
and transferred by DMA from and to device. Msgbuf is the protocol
which takes care of the signalling of the buffers between host and
device which identifies this DMA-able data.
