Subject: [net-next 00/10][pull request] 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-01-23

This series contains updates to ixgbe only.

Shannon Nelson provides an implementation of the ipsec hardware offload
feature for the ixgbe driver for these devices: x540, x550, 82599.

The ixgbe NICs support ipsec offload for 1024 Rx and 1024 Tx Security
Associations (SAs), using up to 128 inbound IP addresses, and using the
rfc4106(gcm(aes)) encryption.  This code does not yet support checksum 
offload, or TSO in conjunction with the ipsec offload - those will be
added in the future.

This code shows improvements in both packet throughput and CPU utilization.
For example, here are some quicky numbers that show the magnitude of the
performance gain on a single run of "iperf -c <dest>" with the ipsec
offload on both ends of a point-to-point connection:

	9.4 Gbps - normal case
	7.6 Gbps - ipsec with offload
	343 Mbps - ipsec no offload

The following are changes since commit c13da21cdb8085f1d9a53463c88a4d3967fe90fd:
  tun: avoid calling xdp_rxq_info_unreg() twice
and are available in the git repository at:
