When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter.  This patch cleans up that api by
properly removing it..

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev-&gt;last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the -&gt;last_rx value themselves.

Drivers do this to try to break out of the -&gt;poll()'ing loop
when the device is being brought administratively down.

Now that we have a napi_disable() "pending" state we are going
to solve that problem generically.

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

<title>[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.</title>

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 -&gt;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-&gt;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 -&gt;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.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

[ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.  Integrated
  Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
  handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues.  -DaveM ]
