> This series contains updates to ixgbe only.

> v2- Dropped the following 2 patches from the series:
>  ixgbe: Support using build_skb in the case that jumbo frames are disabled
>  ixgbe: walk pci-e bus to find minimum width
> 
> Ben Hutchings found a bug with Alex's patch, so that patch was dropped
> permanently.  Jacob's "walk PCIe bus" patch is being re-worked for
> a more generic solution so that other drivers can benefit.
> 
> In the remaining patches...
> Alex provides a fix where we were incorrectly checking the entire frag_off
> field when we only wanted the fragment offset.  Alex also cleans up
> the check for PAGE_SIZE, since the default configuration allocates 32K
> for all buffers.
> 
> Emil provides a change to the calculation of eerd so that it is consistent
> between the read and write functions by using | instead of +.
> 
> Jacob adds support for displaying PCIe Gen3 link speed, which was
> previously missing from the ixgbe driver.  He also provides a patch
> to clean up ixgbe_get_bus_info_generic to call some conversion
> functions, which are used also in another patch provided by Jacob.
> Jacob modifies the driver to enable certain devices (which have an
