Neterion: New driver: Main entry points

This patch implements all the driver entry point functions.
- Definition of all module loadable paramters.
- Implementation of all driver entry point functions.

- Changes in this submission -
        - Fixed compilation error when enabling debug statements
        - Fixed few warnings when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is not defined
        - Removed unnecessary volatile variables
        - Removed compare_ether_addr as it causes unaligned memory access on
          the sparc64 platform.

- Changes in previous submissions -
        - As per Stephen Hemminger's comments removed the following loadable
          parameters - gro, rx_& tx max_indicate_pkts, exec_mode, rx & tx
          pause_enable, tx_steering_type and intr_type.
        - Added Device ID definition in vxge-main.h instead of
          include/linux/pci_ids.h file - Reported by David Miller
 - Incorporated following review comments from Ben Hutchings
        - NAPI is always enabled (no option to turn it OFF).
        - Loadable parameters
         rx_steering_type: This loadable option is removed.
         ring_blocks: This loadable option is removed.
         The driver default settings work well in most if not all cases.
         Another patch to configure these parameters with ethtool will be
         released in the future.
 - LRO has been deprecated in favour of GRO - Bill Fink & Dave Miller's comment
