The natsemi chip can have a larger EEPROM attached than it itself uses for
configuration. This patch adds support for user space access to such an
EEPROM.

As documented in National application note 1287 the RX state machine on
the natsemi chip can lock up under some conditions (mostly related to
heavy load). When this happens a series of bogus packets are reported
by the chip including some oversized frames prior to the final lockup.
This patch implements the fix from the application note: when an
oversized packet is reported it resets the RX state machine, dropping
any currently pending packets.

This patch converts the natsemi driver to use NAPI. It was originally
based on one written by Harald Welte, though it has since been modified
quite a bit, most extensively in order to remove the ability to disable
NAPI since none of the other drivers seem to provide that functionality
any more.

Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
... skb->tail ...
But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.
Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.
Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

I've got a pair of FA312 cards and this problem has bothered me
for ages. This has finally prompted me to do something about it :)
Turns out that somebody wasn't following the documentation. We were
doing 16-bit writes to 32-bit registers which led to some addresses
working and others not so lucky.
This patch should fix the problem.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
