The per ring counters are implemented in SW. Now moving to have the total
counters as the sum of all rings. This way the numbers will always be consistent
and we no longer depend on HW buffer size limitations for those counters
that can be insufficient in some cases.

The Mellanox ConnectX can operate as an InfiniBand adapter, as an
Ethernet NIC, or as a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA. The kernel has a
low-level driver, mlx4_core, which handles multiplexing access to the
device, and there is also already an InfiniBad driver, mlx4_ib.
This patch adds a new driver, mlx4_en, which implements a standard
Ethernet NIC driver.
