This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking
and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures.
Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such
as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero.
So everything "just works" for them.
Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a
routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(),
netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc.
pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others.
In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely
improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the
wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to
invoke fill_packet() earlier.
The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on
the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping.
Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of
net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of
special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here.
Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver
indicates how many TX queues are actually active.
With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher.

There is no need for a feature bit for something that
can be tested by simply checking the TX queue count.

* Resolve some locking issues using atomic_inc/atomic_dec
* move status code in cpmac_check_status
* unmark the BROKEN flag in Kconfig
* move code which should have been in platform code in
arch/mips/ar7/platform.c
* fixed an IRQ storm which lets the kernel hang
* fixed a double call to netif_start_queue which causes a kernel panic
* don't fail to register the PHY, works on many devices now

Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable network
platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.
NOTE: didn't change drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c "old binding" support.
That looks problematic in the first place (it even uses the ancient "struct
device_driver" binding scheme for platform_bus!) and I suspect it will vanish
soonish when arch/powerpc rules the world. Also, drivers/net/ne.c would have
needed more thought to sort out.

Having the id field be an int was making more complex bus topologies
excessively difficult. For now, just convert it to a string, and
change all instances of "bus->id = val" to
snprintf(id, MII_BUS_ID_LEN, "%x", val).

This patch converts cpmac to the new Fixed PHY infrastructure, though it
doesn't fix all the problems with that driver. I didn't even bother to
test this patch to compile, because cpmac driver is broken in several ways:
1. This driver won't compile by itself because lack of its header describing
platform data;
2. It assumes that fixed PHYs should be created by the ethernet driver.
It is wrong assumption: fixed PHYs creation is platform code authority,
driver must blindly accept bus_id and phy_id platform data variables
instead.
Also, it seem that that driver doesn't have actual in-tree users, so
nothing to fix further.
The main purpose of that patch is to get rid of the following Kconfig
warning:
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/powerpc/Kconfig
drivers/net/Kconfig:1713:warning: 'select' used by config symbol
'CPMAC' refers to undefined symbol 'FIXED_MII_100_FDX'

* use irq_handler_t where appropriate
* no need to use 'irq' function arg, its already stored in a data struct
* rename irq handler 'irq' argument to 'dummy', where the function
has been analyzed and proven not to use its first argument.
* remove always-false "dev_id == NULL" test from irq handlers
* remove pointless casts from void*
* declance: irq argument is not const
* add KERN_xxx printk prefix
* fix minor whitespace weirdness

Convert cpmac to new napi_struct API introduced by
bea3348eef27e6044b6161fd04c3152215f96411 [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent
of struct net_device objects.
Only disable rx interrupts if napi actually has been scheduled.
