Subject: [PATCH v2] net: pxa168_eth: add netconsole support

This implements ndo_poll_controller callback which is necessary to
enable netconsole.

Here's the revised patch that performs interrupt disabling correctly
as far as I can tell. It's still unclear to me why some drivers use
local_irq_save/restore:

1. netconsole must have already disabled local interrupts, and netpoll
   verifies that; so local_irq_save in ndo_poll_controller must be a nop.

2. local disabling does not ensure that we wouldn't race with the irq
   handler in progress on some other cpu (but disable_irq does).

Please let me know if I'm missing something.

Thanks.
Alexander
