d4ed8f8d1f Spidernet DMA coalescing
The current driver code performs 512 DMA mappings of a bunch of
32-byte ring descriptor structures. This is silly, as they are
all in contiguous memory. This patch changes the code to
dma_map_coherent() each rx/tx ring as a whole.

66c097165c [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet variable name change
Cosmetic patch: give the variable holding the numer of descriptors
a more descriptive name, so to avoid confusion.

9b6b0b81f0 [PATCH] Spidernet: add ethtool -S (show statistics)
Add the ethtool -S (show statistics) feature to the Spidernet ethernet
driver.  I have tested it extensively and believe it is ready to be
applied.

Performance optimizations, changes in these areas:
  - RX and TX checksum offload

aaec0fab5f [PATCH] net: add driver for the NIC on Cell Blades
This patch adds a driver for a new 1000 Mbit ethernet NIC.  It is
integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades.

The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it
won't compile on platforms other than ppc64.

This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to
get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.
