[ARCNET]: Fixes.
As previously reported the ArcNet driver didn't work with Preempt and SMB on. They do now. I have changed the locking system from being a global arcnet lock to being a lock per device. I used the lock in dev->hard_start_xmit = arcnet_send_packet. Furthermore I added the 'CAP mode' encapsulation. As far as I see it it is the only encapsulation which actually makes ArcNet usefull over ethernet. Previously, the driver just ignored the hardware transmit status, now you can get hardware acknowledge and excessive nacks back to userspace via a raw socket. The capmode.c is nearly just a copy of arc-rawmode.c. The difference is that it inserts a ack_tx() handle into the general driver framework.
