Freescale ethernet controllers have the capability to re-assemble fragmented
data into a single ethernet frame. This patch uses this capability and
implements NETIP_F_SG feature into the fs_enet ethernet driver.
On a MPC885, I get 53% performance improvement on a ftp transfer of a 15Mb file:
* Without the patch : 2,8 Mbps
* With the patch : 4,3 Mbps

When using a MPC8xx as a router, 'perf' shows a significant time spent in
fs_enet_interrupt() and fs_enet_start_xmit().
'perf annotate' shows that the time spent in fs_enet_start_xmit is indeed spent
between spin_unlock_irqrestore() and the following instruction, hence in
interrupt handling. This is due to the TX complete interrupt that fires after
each transmitted packet.
This patch modifies the handling of TX complete to use NAPI.
With this patch, my NAT router offers a throughput improved by 21%
Original performance:
[root@localhost tmp]# scp toto pgs:/tmp
toto 100% 256MB 2.8MB/s 01:31
Performance with the patch:
[root@localhost tmp]# scp toto pgs:/tmp
toto 100% 256MB 3.4MB/s 01:16

Move the Freescale drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/ and
make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
