[PATCH] New PowerPC 4xx on-chip ethernet controller driver
This patch replaces current PowerPC 4xx EMAC driver with
new, re-written from the scratch version. This patch is quite big
(~234K) because there is virtualy 0% of common code between old and
new version.
New driver uses NAPI, it solves stability problems under heavy packet
load and low memory, corrects chip register access and fixes numerous
small bugs I don't even remember now.
This patch has been tested on all supported in 2.6 PPC 4xx boards.
It's been used in production for almost a year now on custom
4xx hardware. PPC32 specific parts are already upstream.
Patch was acked by the current EMAC driver maintainer (Matt Porter). I
will be maintaining this new version.
