net: Micrel KSZ8841/2 PCI Ethernet driver
This is a new network driver for Micrel KSZ8841/KSZ8842 PCI Ethernet chips. The same driver can run both chips at the same time. It supports IPv4 TCP hardware checksumming and so can use scatter/gather transmission.
The KSZ8842 switch has 2 ports. Some users like to take direct control of those ports. So KSZ8842 has a multiple devices mode in which the driver creates another network device so that users can specify which port to send packets. This mode is enabled by passing the "multi_dev=1" parameter to the driver during loading.
The KSZ884X can receive huge frames with size up to 1916 bytes. To use this feature change the network device MTU from 1500 to 1898.
The KSZ884X driver has 3 packet receive processing functions for the normal mode, multiple devices mode, and huge frame mode. Those functions are identical except for more checking for the new features. In normal programming point of view the huge frame version is the one to use because it covers all the cases, but this is done for performance consideration because the target clients for the KSZ884X chips are embedded systems, which unlike desktop PC may not have powerful CPU.

tcp: fix ICMP-RTO war
Make sure, that TCP has a nonzero RTT estimation after three-way
handshake. Currently, a listening TCP has a value of 0 for srtt,
rttvar and rto right after the three-way handshake is completed
with TCP timestamps disabled.
This will lead to corrupt RTO recalculation and retransmission
flood when RTO is recalculated on backoff reversion as introduced
in "Revert RTO on ICMP destination unreachable"
(f1ecd5d9e7366609d640ff4040304ea197fbc618).
This behaviour can be provoked by connecting to a server which
"responds first" (like SMTP) and rejecting every packet after
the handshake with dest-unreachable, which will lead to softirq
load on the server (up to 30% per socket in some tests).
Thanks to Ilpo Jarvinen for providing debug patches and to
Denys Fedoryshchenko for reporting and testing.
Changes since v3: Removed bad characters in patchfile.

Break the largish case for handling receive checksum into a separate
function, and if there is a problem use dev_XXX routines to
show which hardware is the problem.
Turn one corner case into a BUG(). This only happens if the driver
is expecting one behavior but the chip does the old behavior;
only ever saw this when bringing up a new chip type and driver
was buggy.

Change the resume path to use pci write config for a couple of reasons:
1. pci_write_config_dword() allows for more error
checking of PCI health after resume.
2. better to toggle this register on all chip types, since that
is what vendor driver does.

mac80211: Deny TX BA session requests during disassociation
In associated state, when bringing an interface down, existing
BA sessions are torn down. When this is in progress, nothing
prevents mac80211 from accepting another BA session start request.
Use a new station flag to fix this.

ath5k: use correct packet type when transmitting
The hardware needs to know what type of frames are being
sent in order to fill in various fields, for example the
timestamp in probe responses (before this patch, it was
always 0). Set it correctly when initializing the TX
descriptor.

fec: Add LAN8700 phy support
The i.MX51 babbage board has a FEC ethernet controller with this phy.
In the long term we should resurrect the phylib patches for fec.

fec: fix uninitialized rx buffer usage
The fec driver was enabling receive buffer descriptor without allocating
the buffers. Make sure the buffer descriptors are initialized to not
start receiving packets.
Open also calls fec_restart after the rx buffers are allocated. With the code
in fec_restart, it zeroes out the buffer descriptors that have just been
setup.

via-velocity: Fix races on shared interrupts
This patch fixes two potential races in the velocity driver:
* Move the ACK and error handler to the interrupt handler. This fixes a
potential race with shared interrupts when the other device interrupts
before the NAPI poll handler has finished. As the velocity driver hasn't
acked it's own interrupt, it will then steal the interrupt from the
other device.
* Use spin_lock_irqsave in velocity_poll. In the current code, the
interrupt handler will deadlock if e.g., the NAPI poll handler is
executing when an interrupt (for another device) comes in since it
tries to take the already held lock.
Also unlock the spinlock only after enabling the interrupt in
velocity_poll.
The error path is moved to the interrupt handler since this is where the
ISR is checked now.
