The "id" variable was being incremented in common code, but only
initialized and used in IPv4 code.  We move the increment to the IPv4
code too, and then legitimately use the uninitialized_var() macro to
avoid the gcc 4.6 warning that 'id' may be used uninitialized.
Note that gcc 4.7 does not warn.

Use the new bool function ether_addr_equal to add
some clarity and reduce the likelihood for misuse
of compare_ether_addr for sorting.

The initial driver support was for a single mPIPE shim on the chip
(as is the case for the Gx36 hardware).  The Gx72 chip has two mPIPE
shims, so we extend the driver to handle that case.

The code used to call napi_disable() in an interrupt handler
(from smp_call_function), which in turn could call msleep().
Unfortunately you can't sleep in an interrupt context.

Luckily it turns out all the NAPI support functions are
just operating on data structures and not on any deeply
per-cpu data, so we can arrange to set up and tear down all
the NAPI state on the core driving the process, and just
do the IRQ enable/disable as a smp_call_function thing.
