[PATCH] mv643xx_eth support for platform device interface + more

From: Dale Farnsworth

In porting the mv643xx ethernet driver for use by PPC, I modified it
to use the platform device interface, fixed the hardware checksum support
and did some miscellaneous bug fixes and cleanups.

I'll follow up with these six patches:

1 Remove redundant or useless code.
2 Replace fixed count spins with waits on hardware status bits
3 Fix code to enable hardware checksum generation for TX packets
4 Convert from pci_map_* to dma_map_* interface
5 Add support for platform device interface
6 Add support for several configurable parameters via platform device

Of these patches, the only one that changes the driver interface is patch 5.

I don't have any MIPS hardware, so I'd appreciate testing by those who do.

I have some additional cleanups, but I want to get these in the queue
or at least get feedback first.

Thanks,
-Dale Farnsworth
