A major source of overhead in the enc28j60 driver is the SPI transfers. Each
SPI transfer entails two kernel thread context switches. One major source of
SPI transfers is the enc28j60_set_bank() functions which runs before every
register access. This patch reduces the number of SPI transfers that
enc28j60_set_bank() performs in two ways:
1. removes unnecessary bank switch for the registers that are present in all
banks
2. when switching from banks 0 or 3 to banks 1 or 2 (i.e. only one bit
changes) enc28j60_set_bank() does only one SPI transfer instead of two
According to my tests these changes reduce the number of SPI transfers in
about 25%.

The enc28j60 driver reads incoming packets in the process (workqueue) context,
not in a tasklet or the interrupt context. Thus, we should use netif_rx_ni()
to deliver those packets to the networking layer, instead of netif_rx(). This
way incoming packets don't wait in the incoming queue for the next IRQ to be
serviced.

Packet data read from the RX buffer the when the RSV is at the end of the RX
buffer does not warp around. This causes packet loss, as the actual data is
never read. Fix this by calculating the right packet data location.
Thanks to Shachar Shemesh for suggesting the fix.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.
Drivers need not do it any more.
Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.
I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

Recent changes to the IRQ framework have made passing the wrong
trigger type to request_irq() become a fatal error. In the case
of the enc28j60 driver, it stopped working in my test harness.
(Specifically: the signal detects "pin change" events, both edges,
not just falling edges. Similarly, other boards might route it
through an inverter. Trigger type are board-specific.)
This fixes that problem by the usual fix of expecting board setup
code to have set up the correct IRQ trigger type. The best known
example of that being x86 setup.

Keep enc28j60 chips in low-power mode when they're not in use.
At typically 120 mA, these chips run hot even when idle; this
low power mode cuts that power usage by a factor of around 100.
This version provides a generic routine to poll a register until
its masked value equals some value ... e.g. bit set or cleared.
It's basically what the previous wait_phy_ready() did, but this
version is generalized to support the handshaking needed to
enter and exit low power mode.

Prevent oops on enc28j60 packet RX: make sure buffers are aligned.
