Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from
the NAPI functions named *netif_rx_* in commit 908a7a1, they are
exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are
therefore redundant.

These variables are only used with an interface that just dumps their
values into registers to be passed to the hypervisor. The arguments
to that interface are declared to be "unsigned long", so make these
variables match.  The macros are only used with these variables, so make
them match as well.

This code is currently only built for 64bit powerpc, so the transformation
is really a noop.  If the interface was ever ported to 32 bit, it would
almost certainly still use registers to pass the parameters and so
"unsigned long" would still be appropriate.

When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter.  This patch cleans up that api by
properly removing it..

<title>netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-2</title>

We have some reasons to kill netdev-&gt;priv:
1. netdev-&gt;priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev-&gt;priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev-&gt;priv.
But we cann't kill netdev-&gt;priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev-&gt;priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev-&gt;priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev-&gt;last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the -&gt;last_rx value themselves.

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.

I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

<title>ibmveth: fix bad UDP checksums</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a ibmveth bug where bad UDP checksums are being transmitted
when checksum offloading is enabled.
The hypervisor does checksum offloading only on TCP packets, so ibmveth calls
skb_checksum_help() for any other protocol.  The bug happens because
the packet is being modified after the DMA map, so we would need a memory
barrier before making the hypervisor call.  Reordering the code so that the
DMA map happens after skb_checksum_help() has the additional advantage of
fixing a DMA map leak if skb_checksum_help() where to fail.
