7c6a3ed5bd qeth: display "undefined" value of sysfs-attribute "layer2"
If nothing has been written into the qeth sysfs-attribute layer2,
its value is "-1" meaning "not yet defined". But the value is
displayed as "1" meaning "layer2 selected". The patch changes the
reading of this "-1"-value to "-1" to make clear the layer2-attribute
has not yet been defined.

Performance measurements showed EDDP does not lower CPU costs but increase
them. So we dump out EDDP code from qeth driver.
