This is an alternate solution to the EEM 'sentinel' CRC valiation issue.
CDC EEM allows using a 'sentinel' ethernet frame CRC of 0xdeadbeef in
place of a real CRC. The 'sentinel' value is transmitted in big-endian
order whereas the normal CRC is little-endian. This patch handles both
cases appropriately.

When the driver received an EEM packet with CRC option enabled, driver must
compute and check the CRC of the Ethernet data. Previous version computes CRC
on Ethernet data plus the original CRC value. Skbuff is correctly trimed but
the old length is used when CRC is computed.

Now that netdev has its own stats structure we should use that
instead.

This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side
driver to support USB EEM devices.
EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently
supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is
that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle
that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for
control and status updates.
