If the intel folks will accept the patch i'd really like to kill
the e1000 LLTX interface.
If I understood DaveM correctly, it is sounding like we want to
deprecate all of use LLTX on "real" hardware? If so, several such
projects might be considered, as well as possibly simplifying TX
batching work perhaps.
Also, WRT e1000 specifically, I was hoping to minimize changes, and
focus people on e1000e.
e1000e replaces (deprecates) large portions of e1000, namely the support
for the PCI Express modern chips. When e1000e has proven itself in the
field, we can potentially look at several e1000 simplifications, during
the large scale code removal that becomes possible.
