Cosmetic patch: give the variable holding the numer of descriptors
a more descriptive name, so to avoid confusion.

Add the ethtool -S (show statistics) feature to the Spidernet ethernet
driver.  I have tested it extensively and believe it is ready to be
applied.

Performance optimizations, changes in these areas:
  - RX and TX checksum offload
  - correct maximum MTU
  - don't use TX interrupts anymore, use a timer instead
  - remove some superfluous barriers
  - improve RX RAM full handling

This patch adds a driver for a new 1000 Mbit ethernet NIC.  It is
integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades.

The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it
won't compile on platforms other than ppc64.

This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to
get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.
