Previously we had two Koptions to decide if the stmmac
had to use either a ring or a chain to manage its descriptors.
This patch removes the Kernel configuration options and it allow us
to use the chain mode by passing a module option.
Ring mode continues to be the default.

Also with this patch, it will be easier to validate the driver built and
guarantee that all the two modes always compile fine.

The TIMER option is not longer supported and this
code can be considered dead for this driver in
the new kernel series.
In fact, It was not updated at all and never used.

This patch adds the PCI support (as EXPERIMENTAL)
this has been also tested on XLINX XC2V3000 FF1152AMT0221
D1215994A VIRTEX FPGA board.
To support the PCI bus the main part has been reworked
and both the platform and the PCI specific parts have
been moved into different files.

This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of
descriptor.

STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING)
and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor
points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point
to only one data buffer pointer.

In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in
the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself,
whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode.

First version of this work has been done by Rayagond.
Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code.
A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for
managing enhanced and normal descriptors.
In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage.
Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines
needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

This patch adds the MMC management counters support.
MMC module is an extension of the register address
space and all the hardware counters can be accessed
via ethtoo -S ethX.

Note that, the MMC interrupts remain masked and the logic
to handle this kind of interrupt will be added later (if
actually useful).

Currently the driver assumes that the mac10/100 can only use the
normal descriptor structure and the gmac can only use the
enhanced structures.
This patch removes the descriptor's code from the dma files
and adds two new files just for handling the normal and enhanced
descriptors.

The patch splits core and dma parts for the mac10/100 device.
This was already done for the GMAC device.
It should make more flexible the driver to support other chips.

Use dwmac1000 naming instead of gmac.
The patch also splits the gmac.c file in two new ones:
dwmac1000_core.c and dwmac1000_dma.c.
This could actually help on some architectures where different
DMA engines are used.
