Subject: [PATCH 04/10] GRETH: added greth_compat_mode module parameter

The greth_compat_mode option can be used to set a GRETH GBit capable MAC
in operate as if the GRETH 10/100 device was found. The GRETH GBit supports
TCP/UDP checksum offloading, unaligned frame buffers, scatter gather etc.
Enabling this mode allows the developer to test the GRETH 10/100 device
without all features mentioned above on a GBit MAC capable of the above.
