Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network
stack.  Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them at
the netdev level if they choose to do so.

Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to
know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow.

It hasn't "summed" anything in over 7 years, and it's
just a straight mempcy ala skb_copy_to_linear_data()
so just get rid of it.

Improve checking and diagnostics for broadcast and multicast Ethernet MAC
addresses, and distinguish between those cases in output; also make sure the
device is assigned a MAC address valid only locally to avoid collisions.

The check for multicast shouldn't exclude broadcast type addresses.
This reverts the incorrect change done in 2.6.13.

The broadcast address is a multicast address and should be excluded
from being a valid_ether_address for use in bridging or device address.

Fix up etherdevice docbook comments and make them (and other networking stuff)
get dragged into the kernel-api. Delete the old 8390 stuff, it really isn't
interesting anymore.

Optimize the match for broadcast address by using bit operations instead
of comparison. This saves a number of conditional branches, and generates
smaller code.

linux/etherdevice.h can't be included standalone at the moment, which
is required in order to sort the header files in the recommended
alphabetic order. This patch fixes that and is needed to build spider_net.

This patch adds is_multicast_ether_addr() to go along with
is_valid_ether_addr() and friends. It then changes
is_valid_ether_addr() to use the new macro, and fixes up the comment
on that function to move implementation details out of the API doco.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
