I'm close to submitting a v5 of this patchset. The change to phylib has
resulted in significant other changes. I'm sure it's still not quite
right, so I ask your patience in reviewing it.

However, I'm not sure inlining emac_mac_tx_buf_send() into
emac_start_xmit() is good idea. That would result in moving several
functions from emac-mac.c into emac.c. I'm concerned about maintaining
the functional split between the two files.
