Stephen Hemminger d314774cf2 netdev: network device operations infrastructure
This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative
operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure.

This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the
new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once.
For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list
still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new
net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers.

After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to
an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable.

Some function pointers aren't moved:
* destructor can't be in net_device_ops because
  it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded.
* neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special
  consideration
* hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.
