[PATCH 00/26] atl1: divide and modernize

[jacliburn@bellsouth.net]

Hello Jeff,

Happy New Year to you and all.

In preparation for a future atl2 driver for the Atheros L2 10/100 chip,
we propose to move the existing atl1 driver to a new directory
(drivers/net/atlx), then split out functions and definitions that both
atl1 and atl2 can share.  The final structure will look like this:

directory or file		status
=======================		==========================
drivers/net/atl1/		deleted
drivers/net/atlx/		new
drivers/net/atlx/atl1.c		atl1-specific functions
drivers/net/atlx/atl1.h		atl1-specific definitions
drivers/net/atlx/atlx.c		atl1-atl2 shared functions
drivers/net/atlx/atlx.h		atl1-atl2 shared definitions

The first two patches submitted in this patchset accomplish the relocation
by movng the atl1 driver -- lock, stock, and barrel -- over to
drivers/net/atlx, then splitting out shareable functions and definitions.
Some transitory hackery will be present until the atl2 merge.  Please
overlook it for now.

The remaining 24 patches bring the atl1 driver up to par with the current
vendor driver version 1.2.40.2.  NAPI support is included and it seems
to work, but it needs to be scrutinized by an experienced eye.  I had a
hard time finding much current NAPI documentation, so I just hacked at
it by looking at the e1000 driver.

Patch 02/26 is too large for LKML, so it's available at:

ftp://ftp.hogchain.net/pub/linux/attansic/atlx

Or, alternatively, the whole shebang can be pulled from:

git://git.hogchain.net/home/jcliburn/netdev-2.6.git atl1-for-jeff
