5d01fa0c6b ldmvsw: Add ldmvsw.c driver code
Add ldmvsw.c driver

  Details:

  The ldmvsw driver very closely follows the sunvnet.c code and makes
  use of the sunvnet_common.c code for core functionality.

  A significant difference between sunvnet and ldmvsw driver is
  sunvnet creates a network interface for each vnet-port *parent*
  node in the MD while the ldmvsw driver creates a network interface
  for every vsw-port node in the Machine Description (MD).
  Therefore the netdev_priv() for sunvnet is a vnet structure while
  the netdev_priv() for ldmvsw is a vnet_port structure.

  Vnet_port structures allocated by ldmvsw have the vsw bit set.
  When finding the net_device associated with a port, the common code keys
  off this bit to use either the net_device found in the vnet_port or the
  net_device in the vnet structure (see the VNET_PORT_TO_NET_DEVICE() macro in
  sunvnet_common.h). This scheme allows the common code to work with
  both drivers with minimal changes.

  Similar to Xen, network interfaces created by the ldmvsw driver will always
  have a HW Addr (i.e. mac address) of FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and each will be
  assigned the devname "vif<cfg_handle>.<port_id>" - where <cfg_handle> and
  <port_id> are a unique handle/port pair assigned to the associated
  vsw-port node in the MD.

31762eaa0d ldmvsw: Split sunvnet driver into common code
Split sunvnet.c into sunvnet.c and sunvnet_common.c.

  Details:

  Since the sunvnet and ldmvsw drivers will both use common sunvnet code,
  move the functions (and support functions) anticipated to be common code
  from sunvnet.c to sunvnet_common.c. Similarly, sunvnet.h was renamed to
  sunvnet_common.h. The sunvnet_common.c code will be compiled into the
  kernel and act as a library of functions that are linked by either
  (or both) drivers when loaded.

  Function names for external functions in sunvnet_common.c (to be
  called by both the sunvnet and ldmvsw drivers) were tagged with a "_common"
  suffix to clearly designate them as common functions.

  No functional changes as of yet... just moved code verbatim to the new
  sunvnet_common.c/h files.

  Makefile/Kconfig support added to build sunvnet_common.c file. The code
  is included in the kernel if SUN_LDOMS is defined/selected.

  NOTE - per the SubmittingPatches documentation, since the code was just
  moved from one file another, the code was NOT checkpatch'd in this commit
  to aid in review.

19e2f6fe96 net: Fix sungem_phy sharing.
Since sungem_phy is used by multiple, unrelated, drivers make it
build as a real module under drivers/net.

depmod will pick up the symbol dependency and make sure sungem_phy.ko
gets loaded any time sungem.ko or spider_net.ko is loaded.

5ff2241dd4 spider_net: fix compile issue introduced by driver move
Both Spider net driver and Sun GEM driver use the sungem_phy.o object.
This fix creates a Kconfig object for sungem_phy (like MDIO) so that
both drivers require the SUNGEM_PHY object.

This has been compile tested for the Sun GEM driver.

e689cf4a04 cassini/niu/sun*: Move the Sun drivers
Moves the Sun drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/sun/ and make
the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.

Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net> suggested removing the
sun* prefix on the driver names.  This type of change I will
leave up to the driver maintainers.
