net: mvneta: support big endian
Use the "swap descriptor" feature of the hardware to properly swap the
descriptors when running in big endian mode. Since the swapping occurs
on 64 bits words, we also need to provide a separate structure layout
for the DMA descriptors between little endian and big endian mode,
like is done in the mv643xx_eth driver.

net: mvneta: move the RX and TX desc macros outside of the structs
The macros used for the various fields of the RX and TX descriptions
are currently declared next to those fields within the structure
definitions of the RX and TX descriptors.
However, in order to support big endian, we'll have to use the "swap
descriptors" features of the hardware, which swaps every byte within
each 64 bits word of the descriptors. This requires a separate
definition of the RX and TX descriptor structures for little and big
endian, as is done in the mv643xx_eth. Those macros can therefore no
longer be defined inside those structures.

genetlink: fix usage of NLM_F_EXCL or NLM_F_REPLACE
Currently, it is not possible to use neither NLM_F_EXCL nor
NLM_F_REPLACE from genetlink. This is due to this checking in
genl_family_rcv_msg:
if (nlh->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_DUMP)
NLM_F_DUMP is NLM_F_MATCH|NLM_F_ROOT. Thus, if NLM_F_EXCL or
NLM_F_REPLACE flag is set, genetlink believes that you're
requesting a dump and it calls the .dumpit callback.
The solution that I propose is to refine this checking to
make it stricter:
if ((nlh->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_DUMP) == NLM_F_DUMP)
And given the combination NLM_F_REPLACE and NLM_F_EXCL does
not make sense to me, it removes the ambiguity.
There was a patch that tried to fix this some time ago (0ab03c2
netlink: test for all flags of the NLM_F_DUMP composite) but it
tried to resolve this ambiguity in *all* existing netlink subsystems,
not only genetlink. That patch was reverted since it broke iproute2,
which is using NLM_F_ROOT to request the dump of the routing cache.

af_key: more info leaks in pfkey messages
This is inspired by a5cc68f3d6 "af_key: fix info leaks in notify

net/fec: Don't let ndo_start_xmit return NETDEV_TX_BUSY without link
Don't test for having link and let hardware deal with this situation.
Without this patch I see a machine running an -rt patched Linux being
stuck in sch_direct_xmit when it looses link while there is still a
packet to be sent. In this case the fec_enet_start_xmit routine returned
NETDEV_TX_BUSY which makes the network stack reschedule the packet and
so sch_direct_xmit calls fec_enet_start_xmit again.
I failed to reproduce a complete hang without -rt, but I think the
problem exists there, too.
