Subject: [PATCH net-2.6 9/9] sfc: Extend the legacy interrupt workarounds

From: Steve Hodgson <shodgson@...arflare.com>

Siena has two problems with legacy interrupts:
  1. There is no synchronisation between the ISR read completion,
     and the interrupt deassert message.
  2. A downstream read at the "wrong" moment can return 0, and
     suppress generating the next interrupt.

Falcon should suffer from both of these, and it appears it does.
Enable EFX_WORKAROUND_15783 on Falcon as well.

Also, when we see queues == 0, ensure we always schedule or rearm
every event queue.
