Subject: [RFC (v3) 00/19] MTU changes and other fixes

Hi Dave,

I'm posting this as RFC because I think +625/-339 of mostly
code refactoring is not good for net, my intention is to
show you I did the homework and then repost this as two parts
- for net and for net-next.  In retrospect I could've just
asked you right away where you intend this series to go...

First four patches are what you already seen - those plus
number 5 I would be glad to see in net.

Patches 6-13 refactor open/stop paths to follow this:
 - alloc;
 - dev/FW init;
 - stack init/start.
stop:
 - stack stop;
 - dev/FW down;
 - free.
That's a quite a bit of code churn I did my best to split
it up but probably still not much fun to review.

Patch 14 splits the open/stop into chunks I can call later.

Patch 15 makes sure that FW start/stop operations are
reflected in SW state (which was not needed earlier since
we always did full down/up).

Patches 16 and 18 are trivial, split for readability.

Patch 17 does what you requested for MTU change:
 - alloc new resources;
 - stop dev;
 - try to start dev with new config;
 - if failed try with old config;
 - if failed die loudly.

Patch 19 does the same thing for ring resize.

I tested this with various error injection hacks and it 
seems quite solid.

Please let me know if 1-5/6-19 split makes sense to you or if
you prefer to take them all into one tree (and I should squash
#1 and #2 into proper rework (#17)).

Thanks!
