Suggestion from Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
It causes all driver families to be displayed aligned immediately under the
main network drivers heading (in menuconfig/xconfig/gconfig) instead of
not being subordinate to (i.e., not indented) the Network device support
heading at all.
The improved network driver families are:
token ring, wireless, PCMCIA, WAN, ATM, and S390.

Put NETCONSOLE and NETPOLL options together since they are related.
This cuts down on the hassle of flipping back and forth between
the Networking menu and the Network drivers menu to change their
config settings.
Tested with menuconfig, gconfig, and xconfig.
gconfig has a small problem with this. I think that it's
a bug in gconfig and I will take it up with Romain Lievin.

Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving
net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers
menu and up on the top-level where they belong.
To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before
drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been
implemented for all architectures.
Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found
in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25
are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new
networking menu item.

The 8129/8130 support is a sub-option that is not visible if the user

Let's make it a bit easier for users to find the driver for their nic.

A Linux driver for the Chelsio 10Gb Ethernet Network Controller by Chelsio
(http://www.chelsio.com). This driver supports the Chelsio N210 NIC and is
backward compatible with the Chelsio N110 model 10Gb NICs. It supports
AMD64, EM64T and x86 systems.

- my3126.c is unused (because t1_my3126_ops isn't used anywhere)
- what are the EXTRA_CFLAGS in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile for?
- $(cxgb-y) in drivers/net/chelsio/Makefile seems to be unneeded
- completely unused global functions:
- espi.c: t1_espi_get_intr_counts
- sge.c: t1_sge_get_intr_counts
- the following functions can be made static:
- sge.c: t1_espi_workaround
- sge.c: t1_sge_tx
- subr.c: __t1_tpi_read
- subr.c: __t1_tpi_write
- subr.c: t1_wait_op_done

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.
A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4
Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
t1_pci_read_config_4
adapter_name
t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.
Why have useless dead code like:
/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+ u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+ 1. Read master interrupt register.
+ 2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+ 3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

step 1: kill all the OS wrappers.
And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
really supported? Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
struct net_device.

Driver modified as suggested by Pekka Enberg, Stephen Hemminger and Andrian
Bunk. Reduces the size of the driver to ~260k.
- clean up tabs
- removed my3126.c
- removed 85% of suni1x10gexp_regs.h
- removed 80% of regs.h
- removed various calls, renamed variables/functions.
- removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep)
- removed dead code
- dropped redundant casts in osdep.h
- dropped redundant check of kfree
- dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff)
- reduced number of #ifdefs
- use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc
- Add information about known issues with the driver
- Add information about authors

The options FMV18X and SK_G16 do depend on the non-available
CONFIG_OBSOLETE even in kernel 2.4 - IOW, the last time it was able to
select them was in kernel 2.2 (or even before).
Since it seems noone misses these drivers, this patch removes them.

Dale's batch, that is remove SA_INTERRUPT and add SA_SHIRQ in there as the
interrupt is shared if I understand things correctly.

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!
