GMAC devices newer than databook 3.40 has an embedded timer
that can be used for mitigating the number of interrupts.
So this patch adds this optimizations.

At any rate, the Rx watchdog can be disable (on bugged HW) by
passing from the platform the riwt_off field.

In this implementation the rx timer stored in the Reg9 is fixed
to the max value. This will be tuned by using ethtool.

V2: added a platform parameter to force to disable the rx-watchdog
for example on new core where it is bugged.

V3: do not disable NAPI when Rx watchdog is used.

V4: a new extra statistic field has been added to show the early
receive status in the interrupt handler.
This patch also adds an extra check to avoid to call
napi_schedule when the DMA_INTR_ENA_RIE bit is disabled in the
Interrupt Mask register.

This patch adds a new schema used for mitigating the
number of transmit interrupts.
It is based on a SW timer and a threshold value.
The timer is used to periodically call the stmmac_tx_clean
function; the threshold is used for setting the IC (Interrupt
on Completion bit). The ISR will then invoke the poll method.
Also the patch improves some ethtool stat fields.

V2: review the logic to manage the IC bit in the TDESC
that was bugged because it didn't take care about the
fragments. Also fix the tx_count_frames that has not to be
limited to TX DMA ring. Thanks to Ben Hutchings.

V3: removed the spin_lock irqsave/restore as D. Miller suggested.

This patch is to extend the number of MAC address registers
for 16 to 32. In fact, other new 16 registers are available in new
chips and this can help on perfect filter mode for unicast.

This patch also fixes the perfect filtering mode by setting the
bit 31 in the MAC address registers.

v2: fixed Coding Style.

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 removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

with some cleanups by hand.

Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.
