The current code attempts to start the TX dma every time a packet
is queued. This is too conservative, and wastes CPU time. This
patch changes behaviour to call the kick-dma function less often,
only when the tx queue is at risk of emptying.
This reduces cpu usage, improves performance.

The transmit side of the spider ethernet driver currently
places locks around some very large chunks of code. This
results in a fair amount of lock contention is some cases.
This patch makes the locks much more fine-grained, protecting
only the cirtical sections. One lock is used to protect
three locations: the queue head and tail pointers, and the
queue low-watermark location.

Implement basic low-watermark support for the transmit queue.
Hardware low-watermarks allow a properly configured kernel
to continously stream data to a device and not have to handle
any interrupts at all in doing so. Correct zero-interrupt
operation can be actually observed for this driver, when the
socket buffer is made large enough.
The basic idea of a low-watermark interrupt is as follows.
The device driver queues up a bunch of packets for the hardware
to transmit, and then kicks the hardware to get it started.
As the hardware drains the queue of pending, untransmitted
packets, the device driver will want to know when the queue
is almost empty, so that it can queue some more packets.
If the queue drains down to the low waterark, then an interrupt
will be generated. However, if the kernel/driver continues
to add enough packets to keep the queue partially filled,
no interrupt will actually be generated, and the hardware
can continue streaming packets indefinitely in this mode.
The impelmentation is done by setting the DESCR_TXDESFLG flag
in one of the packets. When the hardware sees this flag, it will
interrupt the device driver. Because this flag is on a fixed
packet, rather than at fixed location in the queue, the
code below needs to move the flag as more packets are
queued up. This implementation attempts to keep the flag
at about 1/4 from "empty".

This fixes eeprom read on big-endian architectures.
readw returns the data in CPU order. With cpu_to_le16 we convert it to little
endian, because "ptr" is a pointer to a _byte_ arrray. See the cast above. A
byte array is little endian.
The bug is:
Reading u16 values with readw, casting them into an u8 array and accessing
this u8 array as an u8 (byte) array. The correct fix is to swap the
CPU-ordering value returned by readw into little endian, as the u8 array is
little endian.
This compiles to nothing on little endian hardware (so it does not change b44
code on LE hardware), but _fixes_ code on BE hardware.
