Thomas Falcon 032c5e8284 Driver for IBM System i/p VNIC protocol
This is a new device driver for a high performance SR-IOV assisted virtual
network for IBM System p and IBM System i systems.  The SR-IOV VF will be
attached to the VIOS partition and mapped to the Linux client via the
hypervisor's VNIC protocol that this driver implements.

This driver is able to perform basic tx and rx, new features
and improvements will be added as they are being developed and tested.

Paul Gortmaker 138b15ed87 drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO
This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

Paul Gortmaker bd118b6e95 ibm-ethernet: delete stale MCA and duplicate PSERIES dependency
MCA support has been removed but this dependency escaped removal.
Also, there is a duplicate PPC_PSERIES dependency that appeared
when the ethernet drivers were separated into vendor/model
specific directories, so we remove that here as well.

Jeff Kirsher 88f07484cc drivers/net/ethernet/*: Enabled vendor Kconfig options
Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.

This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers.  In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.

Jeff Kirsher 9aa3283595 ehea/ibm*: Move the IBM drivers
Move the IBM drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ and make the
necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.

- Renamed ibm_new_emac to emac
- Cleaned up Makefile and Kconfig options which referred to
  IBM_NEW_EMAC to IBM_EMAC
- ibmlana driver is a National Semiconductor SONIC driver so
  it was not moved
