In rare instances, memory errors have been detected in the internal packet
buffer memory on I217/I218 when stressed under certain environmental
conditions. Enable Error Correcting Code (ECC) in hardware to catch both
correctable and uncorrectable errors. Correctable errors will be handled
by the hardware. Uncorrectable errors in the packet buffer will cause the
packet to be received with an error indication in the buffer descriptor
causing the packet to be discarded. If the uncorrectable error is in the
descriptor itself, the hardware will stop and interrupt the driver
indicating the error. The driver will then reset the hardware in order to
clear the error and restart.
Both types of errors will be accounted for in statistics counters.

Currently only used when packet split mode is enabled with jumbo frames,
IP payload checksum (for fragmented UDP packets) is mutually exclusive with
receive hashing offload since the hardware uses the same space in the
receive descriptor for the hardware-provided packet checksum and the RSS
hash, respectively. Users currently must disable jumbos when receive
hashing offload is enabled, or vice versa, because of this incompatibility.
Since testing has shown that IP payload checksum does not provide any real
benefit, just remove it so that there is no longer a choice between jumbos
or receive hashing offload but not both as done in other Intel GbE drivers
(e.g. e1000, igb).
Also, add a missing check for IP checksum error reported by the hardware;
let the stack verify the checksum when this happens.

i217 is the next-generation LOM that will be available on systems with the
Lynx Point Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chipset from Intel. This patch
provides the initial support for the device.

This allows the NIC to receive all frames available, including
those with bad FCS, un-matched vlans, ethernet control frames,
and more.
Tested by sending frames with bad FCS.

Enable RPS by default. Disallow jumbo frames when both receive checksum
and receive hashing are enabled because the hardware cannot do both IP
payload checksum (enabled when receive checksum is enabled when using
packet split which is used for jumbo frames) and provide RSS hash at the
same time.
v2: added ethtool command to query flow hashing behavior per Ben Hutchings
and changed the type of rsskey to cleanup the setting of the register
array and avoid unnecessary casts (as pointed out by Joe Perches).
The long error messages are not changed since there is nothing in
the kernel ./Documentation that suggests the preferred method for
dealing with long messages other than to never break strings; leaving
them as-is for now.
