ae6aefaf57 Another overhaul of the CPSW driver for BeagleBone
Major changes:
  * Finally tracked down the flow control setting that
    seems to have been causing TX stalls and watchdog timeouts
  * RX and TX paths now share a lot more code
  * TX interrupt is no longer used; we instead GC finished
    tx queue entries at the bottom of the start routine.
  * TX start now queues fragmented packets directly; it only
    invokes defrag() for occasional very fragmented packets.
  * "sysctl dev.cpsw" dumps controller statistics and queue counts
  * Host Error Interrupt will give extensive debugging information
    if the controller chokes on the queued data.

5bf325556b Overhauled CPSW driver for TI CPSW Ethernet module
(as used in AM335x SoC for BeagleBone).

Among other things:
 * Watchdog reset doesn't hang the driver.
 * Disconnecting cable doesn't hang the driver.
 * ifconfig up/down doesn't hang the driver
 * Out-of-memory no longer panics the driver.

Known issues:
 * Doesn't have good support for fragmented packets
   (calls m_defrag() on TX, assumes RX packets are never fragmented)
 * Promisc and allmulti still unimplimented
 * addmulti and delmulti still unimplemented
 * TX queue still stalls (but watchdog now consistently recovers in ~5s)
 * No sysctl monitoring
 * Only supports port0
 * No switch configuration support
 * Not tested on anything but BeagleBone
