It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than
by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer
is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking
maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often
appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into
drivers/pci/net.

Update "usbnet" so that ethtool reports the name of the minidriver in use
(e.g. asix, cdc_ether, dm9601, rndis_host) instead of "usbnet". This is a
better match to how other network drivers work, resolving a minor open issue.

When working on the mcs7830, I noticed the need for a mutex in its
mdio_read/mdio_write functions. A related problem seems to be present
in the asix driver in the respective functions.
This introduces a mutex in the common usbnet driver and uses it
from the two hardware specific drivers.

This adds generic support for the ethtool commands get_settings,
set_settings, get_link and nway_reset to usbnet. These are now
implemented using mii functions when a low-level driver supports
mdio_read/mdio_write and does not override the usbnet ethtool
commands with its own.
Currently, this applies to the asix and the mcs7830 drivers.
I have tested it on mcs7830.

Add usbnet_unlink_rx_urbs() which can be called by mini-drivers when
they change their MTU such as for Jumbo Frame support.

This moves usbnet support for Zaurus and compatibles into its own module.
Other than exporting a couple of helper functions, this just involved
shuffling some code and updating the comments.

This patch moves the ASIX AX8817x driver into its own file, just using
the "usbnet" infrastructure as a utility library.
- As with "cdc_subset" this involved minor Kconfig/kbuild tweaks,
moving code from one file to another, and exporting a few functions.
- This includes updates from Jamie Painter to add (and use) a new hook
to handle the different maximum transfer sizes for rx and tx sides.
- Also from Jamie, some bugfixes:
* MDIO byteorder (to address some PPC media negotiation problems);
* Force alignment at key spots when using ax88772 framing (on some
embedded hardware, the network stack will break otherwise);
* Address some link reset problems.
It also makes this driver use the standard (5 seconds vs half second)
control timeouts used elsewhere in USB; and wraps a few lines before
the 80th column (which previously needed it).

This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules
for "usbnet". This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which
can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core.
- Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver,
shrinking "usbnet" by a bunch;
- Export the functions needed to support this minidriver
(with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL);
- Update Kconfig and kbuild accordingly.
This one handles about a dozen different device types, with the most
notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus
running that ancient code from Sharp).

This starts to prepare the core of "usbnet" to know less about various
framing protocols that map Ethernet packets onto USB, so "minidrivers"
can be modules that just plug into the core.
- Remove some framing-specific code that cluttered the core:
* net->hard_header_len records how much space to preallocate;
now drivers that add their own framing (Net1080, GeneLink,
Zaurus, and RNDIS) will have smoother TX paths. Even for
the drivers (Zaurus, Net1080) that need trailers.
* defines new dev->hard_mtu, using this "hardware" limit to
check changes to the link's settable "software" mtu.
* now net->hard_header_len and dev->hard_mtu are set up in the
driver bind() routines, if needed.
- Transaction ID is no longer specific to the Net1080 framing;
RNDIS needs one too.
- Creates a new "usbnet.h" header with declarations that are shared
between the core and what will be separate modules.
- Plus a couple other minor tweaks, like recognizing -ESHUTDOWN
means the keventd work should just shut itself down asap.
The core code is only about 1/3 of this large file. Splitting out the
minidrivers into separate modules (e.g. ones for ASIX adapters,
Zaurii and similar, CDC Ethernet, etc), in later patches, will
improve maintainability and shrink typical runtime footprints.
