Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 0/2] axienet NAPI improvements

Changes to support TX NAPI in the axienet driver, as well as fixing
a potential concurrency issue in the TX ring pointer handling.

Supersedes v5 of the individual patch
"net: axienet: Use NAPI for TX completion path".

Changed since v5: Replaced spinlock with fixes to the way the TX ring
tail pointer is updated, and broke those changes into a separate patch.

Changed since v4: Added locking to protect TX ring tail pointer against
concurrent access by TX transmit and TX poll paths.

Changed since v3: Fixed references to renamed function in comments

Changed since v2: Use separate TX and RX NAPI poll handlers to keep
completion handling on same CPU as TX/RX IRQ. Added hard/soft IRQ
benchmark information to commit message.

Changed since v1: Added benchmark information to commit message, no
code changes.

  net: axienet: Be more careful about updating tx_bd_tail
