One less thing for drivers writers to worry about.

Some atl1 boards get their MAC address written directly to the register
by the BIOS during POST, rather than storing it in EEPROM that's
accessible to the driver. If the MAC register on one of these boards
is changed and then the module is unloaded, the permanent MAC address
will be forgotten until the box is rebooted. We should save the
permanent address during removal if we've been messing with it.

NB: driver is choke-full of code that will break on big-endian; as long
as the hardware is onboard-only we can live with that, but sooner or
later that'll need fixing.

This patch splits the vlan_group struct into a multi-allocated struct. On
x86_64, the size of the original struct is a little more than 32KB, causing
a 4-order allocation, which is prune to problems caused by buddy-system
external fragmentation conditions.
I couldn't just use vmalloc() because vfree() cannot be called in the
softirq context of the RCU callback.

This driver is a modified version of the Attansic reference driver
for the L1 ethernet adapter. Attansic has granted permission for
its inclusion in the mainline kernel.
