Streamline the processing of QDIO Input Queues, and remove some intermittent SLSB updates (no deleting of old ACKs, no redundant transitions through NOT_INIT). Rather than counting ACKs, we now keep track of the whole batch of SBALs that were completed during the current polling cycle. Most completed SBALs stay in their initial state (ie. PRIMED or ERROR), except that the most recent SBAL in each sub-run is ACKed for IRQ reduction. The only logic changes happen in inbound_handle_work(), the other delta is just a renaming of the variables that track the SBAL batch. Note that in particular we don't need to flip the _oldest_ SBAL to an idle state (eg. NOT_INIT or ACKed) as a guard against catching our own tail. Since get_inbound_buffer_frontier() will never scan more than the remaining nr_buf_used SBALs, this scenario just doesn't occur.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
