Subject: [PATCH 00/10] atl1: move to atlx and update for 2.6.25

In preparation for a future atl2 driver for the Atheros L2 10/100 chip,
we propose to move the existing atl1 driver to a new directory
(drivers/net/atlx), then split out functions and definitions that both
atl1 and atl2 can share.  The final structure will look like this:

drivers/net/atl1                deleted
drivers/net/atlx                new
drivers/net/atlx/atl1.c         atl1-specific functions
drivers/net/atlx/atl1.h         atl1-specific definitions
drivers/net/atlx/atlx.c         atl1-atl2 shared functions
drivers/net/atlx/atlx.h         atl1-atl2 shared definitions

The first two patches submitted in this patchset accomplish the
relocation by moving the atl1 driver over to drivers/net/atlx, then
splitting out shareable functions and definitions.  Some transitory
hackery will be present until the atl2 merge.  Please overlook it for
now.

The remaining 8 patches provide some cleanup and minor functionality
changes, the most important of which is a fix to our long-broken TSO
capability.

The "conform to vendor driver" patches submitted on 31 December 2007
have been dropped.
