      ====================
      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-03
      
      This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf only.
      
      Mark cleans up ixgbe_init_phy_ops_x550em, since this was designed to
      initialize function pointers only and moves the KR PHY reset to the
      ixgbe_setup_internal_phy_t_x550em which was designed to detect which
      mode the PHY operates in and set it up.  Added the new thermal alarm
      type support used with newer X550EM_x devices.  Fixed both ixgbe and
      ixgbevf to use a private work queue to avoid hangs, which would
      possibly occur when creating and destroying many VFS repeatedly.
      Updated ixgbe PTP implementation to accommodate X550EM_x devices,
      which handle clocking differently.  Fixed specification violations
      in the datasheet, which was reported by Dan Streetman.  Fixed ixgbe
      to check for and handle IPv6 extended headers so that Tx checksum
      offload can be done, which was reported by Tom Herbert.  Fixed ixgbe
      link issue for some systems with X540 or X550 by only inhibiting the
      turning PHY power off when manageability is present.
      
      Alex Duyck refactors the MAC address configuration code, which in
      turns fixes an issue where once 63 entries had been used, you could no
      longer add additional filters.  Updated ixgbe to use __dev_uc_sync
      which also resolved an issue in which you could not remove an FDB
      address without having to reset the port.  Updated the ixgbe driver
      to make use of all the free RAR entries for FDB use if needed.
      
      v2: updated patch 13 to "Alex Duyck Approved" version, in the original
          submission, I had grabbed a previous version of the patch and did not
          catch it was superseded by a later version
