The following changes since commit 8f4cccbbd92f2ad0ddbbc498ef7cee2a1c3defe9:

  net: Set device operstate at registration time (2012-08-24 12:46:13 -0400)

(commit 8f8b3d518999fd1c342310910aa1e49112c86d05)

1. Change the TX path to stop queues earlier and avoid returning
NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
2. Remove some inefficiencies in soft-TSO.
3. Fix various bugs involving device state transitions and/or reset
scheduling by error handlers.
4. Take advantage of my previous change to operstate initialisation.
5. Miscellaneous cleanup.

Ben.

      sfc: Stash header offsets for TSO in struct tso_state
      sfc: Change state names to be clearer, and comment them
      sfc: Hold the RTNL lock for more of the suspend/resume cycle
      sfc: Keep disabled NICs quiescent during suspend/resume

      sfc: Fix reset vs probe/remove/PM races involving efx_nic::state
      sfc: Remove overly paranoid locking assertions from netdev operations
      sfc: Remove bogus comment about MTU change and RX buffer overrun
      sfc: Assign efx and efx->type as early as possible in efx_pci_probe()
      sfc: Fix the initial device operstate
