Subject: [NET-NEXT PATCH 1/2] igb: defeature tx head writeback

From: Jeff Kirsher <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 14:31:42 -0800

From: Alexander Duyck <[email-masked]>

This patch removes tx head writeback as it was found to not provide a
significant improvement in tx performance and on some systems has been seen
to cause a performance degredation due to partial cache line writes.
