The following patch corrects a hard reset that occurs on alix and
soekris net5501 hardware. Specifically, this is an issue with the via
rhine NIC driver. Under periods of extreme load, the via rhine driver
can cause a reset of the entire system. When this happens no output is
seen on the console, the device simply reboots. This was reported in the
following ticket:
Consistent crash on Soekris NET5501
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/11882
I was able to reproduce the problem locally with numerous alix 2d13
platforms. Under heavy 64 byte frame size load from a Smartbits traffic
generator, the alix hardware will hard reset in under 5 minutes. The
same hardware, under the same load, on FreeBSD 9.0 does not reset.
The patch below backports most of the via rhine changes from kernel 3.5.
With OpenWrt trunk being on kernel 3.3.8, it seemed prudent to bring
these changes in to avoid this serious issue.
I've tested this heavily in my test environment and was able to keep the
device stable under load for extended periods of time without any resets.
Also, a nice side effect of this change is that it significantly raises
the performance the platform. Without this patch the alix 2d13 can move
approximately 29,000 packets per second at 64 byte frame sizes. After
this patch the alix can move 52,000 packets per second at 64 byte frame
sizes.
I put this patch under the x86 patches as those are the only platforms
with via rhine hardware that I'm aware of. If it needs to go some place
else please let me know.
Thanks,
Adam

This patch brings up the net5501 platform.
Note that the x86/ target included support for all x86/ class
processors. That's not technically correct. This should be constrained
only to the "generic" subtarget. Every x86-class target that isn't
generic should be able to select only the optimizations/capabilities
applicable to that architectural variant.
It's also assumed that all x86 processors have keyboard & mouse ports,
ISA, DMI, ACPI... the embedded ones typically don't. Again, moving
that to the generic subtarget.
Fortunately, this was a fairly benign tweak.
The net5501 board includes the following logic:
Geode/LX processor
CS5535 super-I/O chip
PC87360 sensor chip
Via Rhine Ethernet controllers
Via Sata controllers
USB, LEDS, I2C
