This adds an init_dummy_netdev() function that gets a network device
structure (allocation and lifetime entirely under caller's control) and
initialize the minimum amount of fields so it can be used to schedule
NAPI polls without registering a full blown interface. This is to be
used by drivers that need to tie several hardware interfaces to a single
NAPI poll scheduler due to HW limitations.
It also updates the ibm_newemac driver to use that, this fixing the
oops on 2.6.29 due to passing NULL as "dev" to netif_napi_add()
Symbol is exported GPL only a I don't think we want binary drivers doing
that sort of acrobatics (if we want them at all).

Manual fixup of conflicts on:

There are some PowerPC SoCs that do odd things with the MAL handling. In
order to accommodate them, we need to introduce a feature mechanism that is
similar to the existing emac_has_feature function.
This adds a feature variable to the mal_instance structure, and adds a
mal_has_feature function. Two features are defined and are guarded
by Kconfig options that are selected by the affected platforms.
MAL_FTR_CLEAR_ICINSTAT is used for platforms that need to clear the
interrupt bits in the ICINTSTAT SDR for txeob/rxeob. This is common
on MAL implementations that have interrupt coalescing.
MAL_FTR_COMMON_ERR_INT is used for platforms that have SERR, TXDE,
and RXDE OR'd into a single interrupt bit.

This updates the copyright notices of the new EMAC driver to
avoid confusion as who is to be blamed for new bugs.

Now that all users of dcr_read()/dcr_write() add the dcr_host_t.base, we
can save them the trouble and do it in dcr_read()/dcr_write().
As some background to why we just went through all this jiggery-pokery,
benh sayeth:
Initially the goal of the dcr_read/dcr_write routines was to operate like
mfdcr/mtdcr which take absolute DCR numbers. The reason is that on 4xx
hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of
instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR
inline.
We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places
where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may
as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for
device "instances" that can exist on 4xx and Axon type platforms and may
be located at variable DCR offsets.

Now that dcr_host_t contains the base address, we can use that in the
ibm_newemac code, rather than storing it separately.

Commit da3dedd9 ("[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct
net_device objects.") changed the interface to NAPI polling. Fix up
the ibm_newemac driver so that it works with this new interface. This
is actually a nice cleanup because ibm_newemac is one of the drivers
that wants to have multiple NAPI structures for a single net_device.
Compile-tested only as I don't have a system that uses the ibm_newemac
driver. This conversion the conversion for the ibm_emac driver that
was tested on real PowerPC 440SPe hardware.

Based on BenH's earlier work, this is a new version of the EMAC driver
for the built-in ethernet found on PowerPC 4xx embedded CPUs. The
same ASIC is also found in the Axon bridge chip. This new version is
designed to work in the arch/powerpc tree, using the device tree to
probe the device, rather than the old and ugly arch/ppc OCP layer.
This driver is designed to sit alongside the old driver (that lies in
drivers/net/ibm_emac and this one in drivers/net/ibm_newemac). The
old driver is left in place to support arch/ppc until arch/ppc itself
reaches its final demise (not too long now, with luck).
This driver still has a number of things that could do with cleaning
up, but I think they can be fixed up after merging. Specifically:
- Should be adjusted to properly use the dma mapping API.
Axon needs this.
- Probe logic needs reworking, in conjuction with the general
probing code for of_platform devices. The dependencies here between
EMAC, MAL, ZMII etc. make this complicated. At present, it usually
works, because we initialize and register the sub-drivers before the
EMAC driver itself, and (being in driver code) runs after the devices
themselves have been instantiated from the device tree.
