Rationale: The differences between Falcon and Siena are in many ways larger
than those between Siena and EF10 (despite Siena being nominally "Falcon-
architecture"); for instance, Falcon has no MCPU, so there is no MCDI.
Removing Falcon support from the sfc driver should simplify the latter,
and avoid the possibility of Falcon support being broken by changes to sfc
(which are rarely if ever tested on Falcon, it being end-of-lifed hardware).
The sfc-falcon driver created in this changeset is essentially a copy of the
sfc driver, but with Siena- and EF10-specific code, including MCDI, removed
and with the "efx_" identifier prefix changed to "ef4_" (for "EFX 4000-
series") to avoid collisions when both drivers are built-in.
This changeset removes Falcon from the sfc driver's PCI ID table; then in
sfc I've removed obvious Falcon-related code: I removed the Falcon NIC
functions, Falcon PHY code, and EFX_REV_FALCON_*, then fixed up everything
that referenced them.
Also, increment minor version of both drivers (to 4.1).
For now, CONFIG_SFC selects CONFIG_SFC_FALCON, so that updating old configs
doesn't cause Falcon support to disappear; but that should be undone at
some point in the future.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.
Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

Update the dates for files that have been added to in 2012-2013.
Drop the 'Solarstorm' brand name that's still lingering here.

Collect together MCDI port functions from mcdi.c, mcdi_mac.c,
mcdi_phy.c and siena.c. Rename the 'siena' functions accordingly.

Moves the Solarflare drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
