Adds IXP4xx drivers for built-in CPU components:
- hardware queue manager
- NPE (network coprocessors),
- Ethernet ports,
- HSS (sync serial) ports (currently only non-channelized HDLC).
Both Ethernet and HSS drivers use queue manager and NPE driver and
require external firmware file(s) available from www.intel.com.
"Platform device" definitions for Ethernet ports on IXDP425
development
platform are provided (though it has been tested on not yet available
IXP425-based hardware only)

Immediate comments as follows:
(Krzysztof has already seen them in a private email but I'm putting
them out so people can publically disagree with me if I have got this
wrong.)
Code placement:
Queue Manager & NPE code => arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx
WAN driver code => drivers/net/wan
Eth code => drivers/net/arm
Kconfig:
I'm not convinced about 'config IXP4XX_NETDEVICES'. I'd lose it
together with the drivers/net/ixp4xx directory
Ethernet & HSS code should probably select NPE and QMGR (rather than
depend) but these options should still be exposed in arch/arm/mach-
ixp4xx/Kconfig
