Instead of using a private copy of struct net_device_stats in struct
fs_enet_private, use stats from struct net_device. Also remove the now
unnecessary .ndo_get_stats function.

Initially, a NAPI TX routine has been implemented separately from
NAPI RX, as done on the freescale/gianfar driver.
By merging NAPI RX and NAPI TX, we reduce the amount of TX completion
interrupts.
Handling of the budget in association with TX interrupts is based on
indications provided at https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi
We never proceed more than the complete TX ring on a single run.
At the same time, we fix an issue in the handling of fep->tx_free:
It is only when fep->tx_free goes up to MAX_SKB_FRAGS that
we need to wake up the queue. There is no need to call
netif_wake_queue() at every packet successfully transmitted.

The private structure contain a pointer to phydev, but the structure
net_device already contain such pointer. So we can remove the pointer
phydev in the private structure, and update the driver to use the
one contained in struct net_device.

Freescale ethernet controllers have the capability to re-assemble fragmented
data into a single ethernet frame. This patch uses this capability and
implements NETIP_F_SG feature into the fs_enet ethernet driver.
On a MPC885, I get 53% performance improvement on a ftp transfer of a 15Mb file:
* Without the patch : 2,8 Mbps
* With the patch : 4,3 Mbps

When using a MPC8xx as a router, 'perf' shows a significant time spent in
fs_enet_interrupt() and fs_enet_start_xmit().
'perf annotate' shows that the time spent in fs_enet_start_xmit is indeed spent
between spin_unlock_irqrestore() and the following instruction, hence in
interrupt handling. This is due to the TX complete interrupt that fires after
each transmitted packet.
This patch modifies the handling of TX complete to use NAPI.
With this patch, my NAT router offers a throughput improved by 21%
Original performance:
[root@localhost tmp]# scp toto pgs:/tmp
toto 100% 256MB 2.8MB/s 01:31
Performance with the patch:
[root@localhost tmp]# scp toto pgs:/tmp
toto 100% 256MB 3.4MB/s 01:16

Move the Freescale drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
