065c59620f Use DELAY() instead of pause if waiting time is less than 1ms.
This will fix driver hang if hz < 1000.

af582dfcb7 Add age(4), a driver for Attansic/Atheros L1 gigabit ethernet
controller. L1 has several threshold/timer registers and they
seem to require careful tuned parameters to get best
performance. Datasheet for L1 is not available to open source
driver writers so age(4) focus on stability and correctness of
basic Tx/Rx operation. ATM the performance of age(4) is far from
optimal which in turn means there are mis-programmed registers or
incorrectly configured registers.
Currently age(4) supports all known hardware assistance including
  - MSI support.
  - TCP Segmentation Offload.
  - Hardware VLAN tag insertion/stripping.
  - TCP/UDP checksum offload.
  - Interrupt moderation.
  - Hardware statistics counter support.
  - Jumbo frame support.
  - WOL support.

L1 gigabit ethernet controller is mainly found on ASUS
motherboards. Note, it seems that there are other variants of
hardware as known as L2(Fast ethernet) and newer gigabit ethernet
(AR81xx) from Atheros. These are not supported by age(4) and
requires a seperate driver. Big thanks to all people who reported
feedback or tested patches.
