This patch adds support for a new method of signalling the firmware
that TSO packets are being sent. The new method removes the need to
alter the ip and tcp checksums and allows TSO6 support.

Enables receiving large packets from other LPARs. These packets
have a -1 IP header checksum, so we must recalculate to have
a valid checksum.

Add support for TSO. TSO is turned off by default and
must be enabled and configured by the user. The driver
version number is increased so that users can be sure
that they are using ibmveth with TSO support.

This patch enables 64k rx buffer pools by default. If Cooperative
Memory Overcommitment (CMO) is enabled, the number of 64k buffers
is reduced to save memory.

The code to load a MAC address into a u64 for passing to the
hypervisor via a register is broken on little endian.
Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr
which does the right thing in both big and little endian.
We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter.
It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the
driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with
the URL <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/> so that we do not have to keep
updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

The hypervisor is big endian, so little endian kernel builds need
to byteswap.

Move the IBM drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ and make the
necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
- Renamed ibm_new_emac to emac
- Cleaned up Makefile and Kconfig options which referred to
IBM_NEW_EMAC to IBM_EMAC
- ibmlana driver is a National Semiconductor SONIC driver so
it was not moved
