I'm close to submitting a v5 of this patchset.  The change to phylib has 
resulted in significant other changes.  I'm sure it's still not quite 
right, so I ask your patience in reviewing it.

However, I'm not sure inlining emac_mac_tx_buf_send() into 
emac_start_xmit() is good idea.  That would result in moving several 
functions from emac-mac.c into emac.c.  I'm concerned about maintaining 
the functional split between the two files.
