Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] net: Add Keystone NetCP ethernet driver support

Update v3 after incorporating Jamal and David Miller's comment/suggestion
from earlier versions [1] [2]. I would like to get these merged for upcoming
3.18 merge window if there are no concerns on this version.

After per the discussion here [3], the controversial custom exports have
been dropped now. And for future future offload support additions, we will
plug into generic frameworks as an when they are available.

The network coprocessor (NetCP) is a hardware accelerator that processes
Ethernet packets. NetCP has a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) subsystem with a ethernet
switch sub-module to send and receive packets. NetCP also includes a packet
accelerator (PA) module to perform packet classification operations such as
header matching, and packet modification operations such as checksum
generation. NetCP can also optionally include a Security Accelerator(SA)
capable of performing IPSec operations on ingress/egress packets.

Keystone SoC's also have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Subsystem (XGbE) which
includes a 3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and
1Gb/s rates per Ethernet port.

Both GBE and XGBE network processors supported using common driver. It
is also designed to handle future variants of NetCP.
