dev->last_rx equal to jiffies.

Whitespace cleanup

Update a few stale comments

Bump version to 4.2.8-k1, use EXPORT_NO_SYMBOLS, minor changes
to ensure that reported link information is always correct, 
remove magic numbers in calls to memset.

ProcFS code updates, check for page boundaries.

change_mtu cleanup.  Allows frame sizes up to 2k on the 82542
instead of limiting the MTU to 1500, so that the 82542 can be 
used with software 802.1q VLANs.

Minor receive cleanup, queue empty buffers to the hardware in 
groups of 16 to reduce unneeded fetches and improve PCI 
efficiency.

Adaptive Inter-Frame Spacing to reduce collisions and improve 
half duplex transmit performance.

Replace LIST_LEN macro use with the standard ARRAY_SIZE.

VLAN hardware offload.

Updated transmit path.  Breaks the transmit path up to make it 
more understandable.  Aggressively reclaim resources by checking
for completed transmits before queuing each new frame to avoid 
stalling the driver by delaying interrupts to long.

Search and replace of adapter->shared with adapter->hw 
throughout the driver.  This matches the naming used in 
e1000_hw.c and is more correct.

Update to low level hardware code.  Adds support for the new 
82540 device.  Replaces e1000_mac.c e1000_mac.h e1000_phy.c and 
e1000_phy.h with e1000_hw.c and e1000_hw.c.  Changes to the 
makefile, header includes, and some minor function syntax 
changes to get the driver working with the new code.

License update, the "GNU General Public License" was incorrectly
referred to as the "GNU Public License".

Update from Thomas..

Here are the additional bits from the -ac tree, diffed
against 2.5.6 + 2.5.5-dj3 patch.  The changes include:

- Improve some comments
- Postpone starting the kernel thread (Alan Cox)
- Call kernel thread 'kpnpbiosd' instead of 'kpnpbios'
- Consolidate printing of error messages to save space
- Add __init and __exit tags and return appropriate error codes
- Print slightly more consistent messages
- Get closer to supporting build-as-module

o  Make MCE compile time optional	(Paul Gortmaker)
o  P4 thermal trip monitoring.		(Zwane Mwaikambo)
o  Non-fatal MCE logging.		(Me)

These are mostly Cyrix-alike, but for some quirks we work around.

Still a few out there.. Most of these from 2.4

Some from 2.4, some from the kernel janitor team,..

From Mikael via 2.4.

From Tigran via 2.4

The usual search and replace type operations from various people
to various drivers..

The second hunk also contains a fix from Badari Pulavarty to make
page_to_phys() work on pages >4GB. Without this, we truncate the
physical address to 32bit

There still seem to be some casualties since the include file shakeup a
few revisions back, this adds quite a few missing ones, more to come.
