This patch moves the et131x gigabit ethernet driver from drivers/staging
to drivers/net/ethernet/agere.

All the existing issues noted for this driver have been resolved, apart
from one performance issue where some fragmented packets suffer from
frame receive errors.

I think you should just leave this block out entirely.  It doesn't
save time for anyone.

Well spotted, thanks. I'll fix it asap.

It looks to be standard boilerplate for all the net/ethernet drivers
having their own directory. I'm going to leave it in for now.
If that's an issue that needs a change, it would also affect the other
drivers and I think should be tackled as a separate thing.

Cheers,

Mark
