In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require
a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend
with a character device with the same interface as the tun
driver, with a minimum set of features.
Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan
interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a
handle for configuration and accounting, while the data
goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its
own character device, simplifying permission management
significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

The Octeon MGMT Ethernet ports are present in some members of the
Octeon SOC family (cn52XX and cn56XX have them).
The mdio bus connected to the MGMT PHYs is shared with the main
octeon-ethernet driver, we force it to be loaded first by calling
octeon_mdiobus_force_mod_depencency. The platform devices for the
MGMT Ethernet ports are added in
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/octeon-platform.c, and the register
definitions for the ports live in arch/mips/include/asm/octeon/ along
with their ilk.
Although it currently is the only driver in drivers/net/octeon, the
directory was created looking forward to the day that octeon-ethernet
will move there from its current home in drivers/staging.

Changeset ca17584bf2 ("mac8390: update
to net_device_ops") broke mac8390 by adding 8390.o to the link. That
meant that lib8390.c was included twice, once in mac8390.c and once in
8390.c, subject to different macros. This patch reverts that by
avoiding the wrappers in 8390.c. They seem to be of no value since
COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS is going away soon.

This patch adds support for the Xilinx ll_temac 10/100/1000 Ethernet
device. The ll_temac ipcore is typically used on Xilinx Virtex and
Spartan designs attached to either a PowerPC 4xx or Microblaze
processor.
At the present moment, this driver only works with Virtex5 PowerPC
designs because it assumes DCR is used to access the DMA registers.
However, the low level access to DMA registers is abstracted and
it should be easy to adapt for the other implementations.
I'm posting this driver now as an RFC. There are still some things that
need to be tightened up, but it does appear to be stable.
Derived from driver code written by Yoshio Kashiwagi and David H. Lynch Jr.
Tested on Xilinx ML507 eval board with Base System Builder generated
FPGA design.

This adds an igbvf driver to handle virtual functions provided by the
igb driver when SR-IOV has been enabled. A virtual function is a
lightweight pci-e function that supports a single queue and shares
resources with the 82576 physical function contained within the igb
driver.
To spawn virtual functions from the igb driver all that is needed is to
enable CONFIG_PCI_IOV and have an 82576 Ethernet adapter on a system that
supports SR-IOV in the BIOS. The virtual functions will appear after the
interface is loaded.

The driver expects three resources: one IORESOURCE_MEM resource defines the
memory region for the core's memory-mapped registers while a second
IORESOURCE_MEM resource defines the network packet buffer space. The third
resource, of type IORESOURCE_IRQ, associates an interrupt with the driver.
