Implement NAPI changes to pcnet32 driver. Compile default is off.
Listed as experimental.
Len and Don both worked on a NAPI implementation and have both tested
these changes.
An e1000 blasting short packets to the pcnet32 will lockup Don's system
until the receive storm stops. Without NAPI Len's system watchdog would
expire causing the system to reboot. With NAPI the system will stay
operational.
Tested ia32 and ppc64. Tested '970A, '971, '972, '973, '975, '976, and
'978.
The Kconfig changes came from Len. Don is to blame for all the others.

A change I made for 2.6.17 and another for 2.6.18 do not work on older
pcnet32 chips which I do not have access to. If the chip is a 79C970 or
79C965, do not try and suspend or check the link status.
I have tested with a 79C970A, 79C971, 79C972, 79C973, 79C975, 79C976,
and 79C978.

Symbols such as PCI_USES_IO, PCI_ADDR0, etc. originated from Donald
Becker's net driver template, but have been long unused. Remove.
In a few drivers, this allows the further eliminate of the pci_flags (or
just plain flags) member in the template driver probe structure.
Most of this logic is simply open-coded in most drivers, since it never
changes.
Made a few other cleanups while I was in there, too:
* constify, __devinitdata several PCI ID tables
* replace table terminating entries such as "{0,}," and "{NULL},"
with a more-clean "{ }".

During a code scan for another change I discovered that this call to
pcnet32_free_ring must be removed. If the open fails due to a lack of
memory all the ring structures are removed via the call to free_ring
and a subsequent call to open will dereference a null pointer in
pcnet32_init_ring.
Please apply to 2.6.17.

The comments concerning how the pcnet32 ethernet device driver selects
the MAC addr to use are incorrect. A recent patch (in the last 3 months)
changed how the code worked, but did not change the comments.
Side comment: the new behaviour is good; I've got a pcnet32 card which
powers up with garbage in the CSR's, and a good MAC addr in the PROM.

- undo some Lindent damage by indenting member names
- remove history at top of .c file, this is stored in the kernel
repo changelog (in greater detail, even).
Boards with multiple PHYs were not being handled properly by the pcnet32
driver. This patch by Thomas Bogendoerfer with changes by me will allow
Allied Telesyn 2700FTX and 2701FTX boards to use either the copper or
the fiber interfaces. It has been tested on ia32 and ppc64 hardware.
Philippe Seewer also tested and improved the patch.
ethtool for pcnet32 already supports multiple phys.

The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000.
One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF,
on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b.
It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface
into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked
only on the 270.
Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address
via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable.
I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove
the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.

Some boards using the 79c976 pcnet32 chip will hang the system if the
ethtool --register-dump is performed with the device operational. The
request to read bcr30 is retried by the PCI device infinitely without
returning data, hanging the system.

This patch is a better fix for Allied Telesyn 2700/2701 FX boards than
the change made in early January this year. It allows the user to
select the speed/duplex via module_param, but if no selection is made,
forces the speed to 100 FD. It fixes both Bugzilla bugs 2669 and 4551.
Tested ia32 and ppc64 by myself, and by the originator of bug 2669.

Display the name eth%d or pci_name() of device which fails to allocate
memory. When changing ring size via ethtool, it also releases the
lock before returning on error. Added comment that the caller of
pcnet32_alloc_ring must call pcnet32_free_ring on error, to avoid leak.
Tested ia32 by forcing allocation errors.

Don Fry reminded me that the pcnet32_loopback_test() asssumes the ring size
is no less than 4. The minimum ring size was changed to 4 in
pcnet32_set_ringparam() to allow the loopback test to work unchanged.

Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
... skb->tail ...
But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.
Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.
Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
