    qeth network driver changes:
     - Improve performance by omitting svs.
     - Use function callback mechanism to set layer 2 parameters when getting
       a reply for a Layer 2 command.
     - dev->hard_header must not be NULL when fake_ll is no set since
       IPv6 and Layer2 needs the default function set by network stack.
     - ping6 works now when running in layer 2 mode.
     - Save original dev->hard_header to restore it when the user doesn't
       want to use fake_ll anymore.
     - Fake ethernet header in outgoing packets. This currently works
       only if qeth is compiled without ipv6 support.
     - Add more debug information in case of failures in qeth_set_offline.
     - Using fake_ll with HiperSockets devices results in misaligned
       ip packets and thus no traffic over HiperSockets.
     - Start qeth_remove_device only after the qeth recovery completed.
