Release code in driver modules is a potential cause of oopsen.
The device may be in use by a userspace process, which will keep
a reference to the device. If the module is unloaded, the module
text will be freed. Subsequently, when the last reference is
dropped, the release code will be called, which no longer exists.
Use generic platform device allocation/release code in modules.

The purpose of this patch:
- Adopt the DMA API (jazzsonic, macsonic & core driver).
- Adopt the driver model (macsonic).
This part was cribbed from jazzsonic. As a consequence, macsonic once
again works as a module. Driver model is also used by the DMA calls.
- Support 16 bit cards (macsonic & core driver, also affects jazzsonic)
This code was adapted from the mac68k linux 2.2 kernel, where it has
languished for a long time.
- Support more 32-bit mac cards (macsonic)
Also from mac68k repo.
- Zero-copy buffer handling (core driver)
Provides a nice performance improvement. The new algorithm incidentally
helped to replace the old Jazz DMA code.
The patch was tested on a variety of macs (several 32-bit quadra built-in
NICs, a 16-bit LC PDS NIC and a 16-bit comm-slot NIC), and also on MIPS
Jazz.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
