Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

The Atmel MACB Ethernet peripheral is also integrated in the AT91SAM9260
and AT91SAM9263 processors. The differences from the AVR32 version are:
* Single peripheral clock.
* MII/RMII selection bit is inverted.
* Clock enable bit.

Since macb is a chip-internal device, use __raw_readl and
__raw_writel instead of readl/writel. This will perform native-endian
accesses, which is the right thing to do on both AVR32 and ARM devices.

The macb driver calls schedule_delayed_work() and friends, so we need
to use a struct delayed_work along with it. The conversion was
explained by David Howells on lkml Dec 5 2006:

Driver for the Atmel MACB on-chip ethernet module.
Tested on AVR32/AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000. I've heard rumours that it works
with AT91SAM9260 as well, and it may be possible to share some code with
the at91_ether driver for AT91RM9200.
Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 data sheet,
which can be downloaded from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=682
Changes since previous version:
* Probe for PHY ID instead of depending on it being provided through
platform_data.
* Grab initial ethernet address from the MACB registers instead
of depending on platform_data.
* Set MII/RMII mode correctly.
These changes are mostly about making the driver more compatible with
the at91 infrastructure.
