Moves the drivers for the AMD chipsets into drivers/net/ethernet/amd/
and the necessary Kconfig and Makfile changes.
The au1000 (Alchemy) driver was also moved into the same directory
even though it is not a "Lance" driver.

What's worse than no comment? A wrong comment.
Several PCMCIA device drivers contained the same comments, which
were based on how the PCMCIA subsystem worked in the old days of 2.4.,
and which were originally part of a "dummy_cs" driver. These comments
no longer matched at all what is happening now, and therefore should
be removed.

pcmcia_enable_device() now replaces pcmcia_request_configuration().
Instead of config_req_t, all necessary flags are either passed as
a parameter to pcmcia_enable_device(), or (in rare circumstances)
set in struct pcmcia_device -> flags.
With the last remaining user of include/pcmcia/cs.h gone, remove
all references.

IntType was only set to INT_MEMORY (driver pcmciamtd) or INT_MEMORY_AND_IO
(all other drivers). As this flags seems to relate to ioport access, make
it conditional to the driver having requested IO port access. There are two
drivers which do not request IO ports, but did set INT_MEMORY_AND_IO:
ray_cs and b43. For those, we consistently only set INT_MEMORY in future.

Instead of io_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out
struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[0,1] for up to two ioport
ranges. After a call to pcmcia_request_io(), the ports found there
are reserved, after calling pcmcia_request_configuration(), they may
be used.

As a third step, remove any usage of dev_node_t from drivers which
only wrote to this typedef/struct, except to determine whether
register_netdev() succeeded previously. However, the function calling
unregister_netdev() was only ever called by the PCMCIA core if
register_netdev() succeeded previously. The lonely exception was
easily fixed.

Instead of the old pcmcia_request_irq() interface, drivers may now
choose between:
- calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from *p_dev->irq.
- use pcmcia_request_irq(p_dev, handler_t); the PCMCIA core will
clean up automatically on calls to pcmcia_disable_device() or
device ejection.
- drivers still not capable of IRQF_SHARED (or not telling us so) may
use the deprecated pcmcia_request_exclusive_irq() for the time
being; they might receive a shared IRQ nonetheless.

Most of the irq_req_t typedef'd struct can be re-worked quite
easily:
(1) IRQInfo2 was unused in any case, so drop it.
(2) IRQInfo1 was used write-only, so drop it.
(3) Instance (private data to be passed to the IRQ handler):
Most PCMCIA drivers using pcmcia_request_irq() to actually
register an IRQ handler set the "dev_id" to the same pointer
as the "priv" pointer in struct pcmcia_device. Modify the two
exceptions (ipwireless, ibmtr_cs) to also work this waym and
set the IRQ handler's "dev_id" to p_dev->priv unconditionally.
(4) Handler is to be of type irq_handler_t.
(5) Handler != NULL already tells whether an IRQ handler is present.
Therefore, we do not need the IRQ_HANDLER_PRESENT flag in
irq_req_t.Attributes.

Convert PCMCIA drivers to use the dynamic debug infrastructure, instead of
requiring manual settings of PCMCIA_DEBUG. Only some rare debug checks are
now hidden behind "#ifdef DEBUG" or "#if 0".
Also, remove all usages of the CS_CHECK macro and replace them with proper
Linux style calling and return value checking. The extra error reporting may
be dropped, as the PCMCIA core already complains about any (non-driver-author)
errors.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)
Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,

meaningful as offsets or pointers.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

The skb may be gone after netif_rx(), we can't use 'skb->len' to update the
stats. 'pkt_len' should work instead.
