This patch adds support for Ethernet over GRE encapsulation.
This is exposed to user-space with a new link type of "gretap"
instead of "gre". It will create an ARPHRD_ETHER device in
lieu of the usual ARPHRD_IPGRE.
Note that to preserver backwards compatibility all Transparent
Ethernet Bridging packets are passed to an ARPHRD_IPGRE tunnel
if its key matches and there is no ARPHRD_ETHER device whose
key matches more closely.

This patch adds a netlink interface that will eventually displace
the existing ioctl interface. It utilises the elegant rtnl_link_ops
mechanism.
This also means that user-space no longer needs to rely on the
tunnel interface being of type GRE to identify GRE tunnels. The
identification can now occur using rtnl_link_ops.

This patch moves the dev->mtu setting out of ipgre_tunnel_bind_dev.
This is in prepartion of using rtnl_link where we'll need to make
the MTU setting conditional on whether the user has supplied an
MTU. This also requires the move of the ipgre_tunnel_bind_dev
call out of the dev->init function so that we can access the user
parameters later.
This patch also adds a check to prevent setting the MTU below
the minimum of 68.

Now that we have dev->needed_headroom, we can use it instead of
having a bogus dev->hard_header_len. This also allows us to
include dev->hard_header_len in the MTU computation so that when
we do have a meaningful hard_harder_len in future it is included
automatically in figuring out the MTU.
Incidentally, this fixes a bug where we ignored the needed_headroom
field of the underlying device in calculating our own hard_header_len.

1. arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/gpio_mdio.c also needs to be
converted over to mdiobus_{alloc,free}().
2. drivers/net/phy/fixed.c used to embed a struct mii_bus into its
struct fixed_mdio_bus and then use container_of() to go from the
former to the latter. Since mii bus structures are no longer
embedded, we need to do something like use the mii bus private
pointer to go from mii_bus to fixed_mdio_bus instead.

Add support for the Marvell 88E6131 switch chip. This chip only
supports the original (ethertype-less) DSA tagging format.
On the 88E6131, there is a PHY Polling Unit (PPU) which has exclusive
access to each of the PHYs's MII management registers. If we want to
talk to the PHYs from software, we have to disable the PPU and wait
for it to complete its current transaction before we can do so, and we
need to re-enable the PPU afterwards to make sure that the switch will
notice changes in link state and speed on the individual ports as they
occur.
Since disabling the PPU is rather slow, and since MII management
accesses are typically done in bursts, this patch keeps the PPU disabled
for 10ms after a software access completes. This makes handling the
PPU slightly more complex, but speeds up something like running ethtool
on one of the switch slave interfaces from ~300ms to ~30ms on typical
hardware.

Most of the DSA switches currently in the field do not support the
Ethertype DSA tagging format that one of the previous patches added
support for, but only the original DSA tagging format.
The original DSA tagging format carries the same information as the
Ethertype DSA tagging format, but with the difference that it does not
have an ethertype field. In other words, when receiving a packet that
is tagged with an original DSA tag, there is no way of telling in
eth_type_trans() that this packet is in fact a DSA-tagged packet.
This patch adds a hook into eth_type_trans() which is only compiled in
if support for a switch chip that doesn't support Ethertype DSA is
selected, and which checks whether there is a DSA switch driver
instance attached to this network device which uses the old tag format.
If so, it sets the protocol field to ETH_P_DSA without looking at the
packet, so that the packet ends up in the right place.

Distributed Switch Architecture is a protocol for managing hardware
switch chips. It consists of a set of MII management registers and
commands to configure the switch, and an ethernet header format to
signal which of the ports of the switch a packet was received from
or is intended to be sent to.
The switches that this driver supports are typically embedded in
access points and routers, and a typical setup with a DSA switch
looks something like this:
+-----------+ +-----------+
| | RGMII | |
| +-------+ +------ 1000baseT MDI ("WAN")
| | | 6-port +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN1")
| CPU | | ethernet +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN2")
| |MIImgmt| switch +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN3")
| +-------+ w/5 PHYs +------ 1000baseT MDI ("LAN4")
| | | |
+-----------+ +-----------+
The switch driver presents each port on the switch as a separate
network interface to Linux, polls the switch to maintain software
link state of those ports, forwards MII management interface
accesses to those network interfaces (e.g. as done by ethtool) to
the switch, and exposes the switch's hardware statistics counters
via the appropriate Linux kernel interfaces.
This initial patch supports the MII management interface register
layout of the Marvell 88E6123, 88E6161 and 88E6165 switch chips, and
supports the "Ethertype DSA" packet tagging format.
(There is no officially registered ethertype for the Ethertype DSA
packet format, so we just grab a random one. The ethertype to use
is programmed into the switch, and the switch driver uses the value
of ETH_P_EDSA for this, so this define can be changed at any time in
the future if the one we chose is allocated to another protocol or
if Ethertype DSA gets its own officially registered ethertype, and
everything will continue to work.)

The device's carrier status is controlled via the functions
netif_carrier_on() and netif_carrier_off(). These set or clear a bit
indicating the carrier (aka lower level link) is down, and if the state
changed, they fire off a routing netlink event.
Add a call to netif_carrier_off() before register_netdev() so that the
newly created device will be set to carrier down. Then when the carrier
comes up for the first time, a netlink event will be generated, as the
carrier changed from down to up. Otherwise the initial carrier up will
appear to be changing the status from up to up, and so no event is
generated since that's not a change.

It appears to be a pretty simple issue in the driver that wasn't discovered

When NETIF_F_LLTX is set, the atlx driver will use a private lock.
But in recent kernels this implementation seems redundant and
can cause problems where AF_PACKET sees things twice. Since
NETIF_F_LLTX is marked as deprecated and shouldn't be used in
new driver, this patch removes NETIF_F_LLTX and adds a mmiowb
before sending packet. I have tested this driver on a Eee PC.

The PHY's aneg is configured and restarted whenever the link is brought up,
e.g. when DHCP is started after the kernel has booted. This can take the
link down for several seconds while auto-negotiation is redone.
If the advertised features haven't changed, then it shouldn't be necessary
to bring down the link and start auto-negotiation over again.
genphy_config_advert() is enhanced to return 0 when the advertised features
haven't been changed and >0 when they have been.
genphy_config_aneg() then uses this information to not call
genphy_restart_aneg() if there has been no change.
