Hi Jeff,

This is the set of mv643xx_eth patches intended for 2.6.28.  It has
most of the patches posted to the list in the last couple of weeks,
plus three more fixes:
- Unless we tell the hardware to include the pseudo-header when
  checksumming, all packets will be received with the hardware
  indicating a bad checksum, causing the driver to set CHECKSUM_NONE
  on all packets, i.e. hardware receive checksum offload won't be
  used at all.  We need to set the bit that tells the hardware to
  include the pseudo-header when checksumming.
- The driver would corrupt the packet on transmit if the L3 header
  didn't start 14, 18, 22 or 26 bytes into the packet.  Now it'll
  just call skb_checksum_help() to do checksumming in software if
  this happens.
- Due to a hardware bug, the 64 bit hardware byte counters are
  effectively only 32 bit, which necessitates polling them at least
  once every ~30 seconds to prevent them from overflowing.

I've also included the mv643xx_eth phylib conversion, as Andy Fleming
ACKed it.  The skb recycling bits aren't included (need more discussion),
and neither are the Pegasos SRAM bits, since I didn't receive any tester
feedback on them.

I've tested this series extensively on all mv643xx_eth hardware I have
available, and it all looks good.  Please pull.


thanks,
Lennert
