I prefer this implementation over what Tristram recently submitted. It
is also what we suggested a while back. However, since then we have
had Spectra/meltdown, and we now know a function call through a
pointer is expensive. This is the hot path, every frame comes through
here, so it is worth taking the time to optimize this. Could you try
to remove the ksz_tag_ops structure. xmit looks simple, since it is a
tail call, so you can do that in ksz9477_xmit. Receive looks a bit
more complex.

I also think for the moment we need it ignore PTP until we have the
big picture sorted out. If need be, the code can be refactored yet
again. But i don't want PTP holding up getting more switches
supported.

This is new functionality, not part of the refactoring the
code. Please add that as a new patch. Also, you can probably make use
of is_link_local_ether_addr().
