8ec9345965 spidernet: enable support for bcm5461 ethernet phy
A newer board revision changed the type of ethernet phy.
Moreover, this generalizes the way that a phy gets switched
into fiber mode when autodetection is not available.

4e5077b62b [PATCH] spidernet : reduce console spam
This patch reduces the message level of the RX ram full messages
from err to debug to prevent spamming the console leaving it in the
logfiles though.

11f1a52b87 [PATCH] spidernet: performance optimizations
Performance optimizations, changes in these areas:
  - RX and TX checksum offload
  - correct maximum MTU
  - don't use TX interrupts anymore, use a timer instead
  - remove some superfluous barriers
  - improve RX RAM full handling

8e0a613bf6 [PATCH] spidernet: fix HW structures for 64 bit dma_addr_t
The driver incorrectly used dma_addr_t to describe
HW structures and consequently broke when that type
was changed in 2.6.15-rc.

This changed spidernet to use u32 for 32 bit HW defined
structure elements.

030d6753f8 [PATCH] spidernet: read firmware from the OF device tree
request_firmware() is sometimes problematic, especially
in initramfs, reading the firmware from Open Firmware
is much preferrable.

We still try to get the firmware from the file system
first, in order to support old SLOF releases and to allow
updates of the spidernet firmware without reflashing
the system.

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.
