Subject: [PATCH] net: EMAC: Fix problem with mtu > 4080 on non TAH equipped 4xx PPC's

Currently, all non TAH equipped 4xx PPC's call emac_start_xmit() upon
xmit. This routine doesn't check if the frame length exceeds the max.
MAL buffer size.

This patch now changes the driver to call emac_start_xmit_sg() on all
platforms and not only the TAH equipped ones (440GX). This enables an
MTU of 9000 instead 4080.

Tested on Kilauea (405EX) with gbit link -> jumbo frames enabled.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Roese <sr@...x.de>

Eugene & Ben, do you see any problems with this patch? If not, then I'll
send another version for the newemac driver too.

Thanks.
