[BNX2]: Fix Xen problem.

This fixes the problem of not receiving packets in the Xen bridging
environment.  The Xen script sets the device's MAC address to
FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and puts the device in promiscuous mode.  The
firmware had problem receiving all packets in this configuration.

[NET]: Supporting UDP-Lite (RFC 3828) in Linux

This is a revision of the previously submitted patch, which alters
the way files are organized and compiled in the following manner:

* UDP and UDP-Lite now use separate object files
* source file dependencies resolved via header files
  net/ipv{4,6}/udp_impl.h
* order of inclusion files in udp.c/udplite.c adapted
  accordingly

[NET/IPv4]: Support for the UDP-Lite protocol (RFC 3828)

This patch adds support for UDP-Lite to the IPv4 stack, provided as an
extension to the existing UDPv4 code:
        * generic routines are all located in net/ipv4/udp.c
        * UDP-Lite specific routines are in net/ipv4/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/udplite
        * shared API with extensions for partial checksum coverage

[NET/IPv6]: Extension for UDP-Lite over IPv6

It extends the existing UDPv6 code base with support for UDP-Lite
in the same manner as per UDPv4. In particular,
        * UDPv6 generic and shared code is in net/ipv6/udp.c
        * UDP-Litev6 specific extensions are in net/ipv6/udplite.c
        * MIB/statistics support in /proc/net/snmp6 and /proc/net/udplite6
        * support for IPV6_ADDRFORM
        * aligned the coding style of protocol initialisation with af_inet6.c
        * made the error handling in udpv6_queue_rcv_skb consistent;
          to return `-1' on error on all error cases
        * consolidation of shared code

[NET]: UDP-Lite Documentation and basic XFRM/Netfilter support

The UDP-Lite patch further provides
        * API documentation for UDP-Lite
        * basic xfrm support
        * basic netfilter support for IPv4 and IPv6 (LOG target)
