This adds support for Byte Queue Limits in bgmac and b44, now it is
possible to use more advanced network queue control algorithms.

This is now the version which was send for mainline Linux kernel
inclusion. The data needed to detection a board is now stored in init
data.

This patch adds support for Huawei E970 wireless gateway devices.
It has been tested on an E970 labelled as T-Mobile web'n'walk Box IV.
E960/B970 should work too, from what I know it's basically the same hardware.
The device has a Broadcom BCM5354 SoC and a built-in 3G USB modem.
It uses a hardware watchdog which needs GPIO-7 to be toggled at least
every 1-2 seconds. This patch uses gpio_wdt module (see my previous
patch today) to take care of this.
Tested and works: 3G wan, wlan+LED, VLAN config, failsafe using reset
button, image to be used for upgrade from OEM firmware's web interface
Link to the wiki page I've created: <http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/huawei/e970>
Issue:
* lzma-loader crashes, so gzipped kernel is used. Presumably due to watchdog
reset during kernel decompress.

A new type of partition with magic FCTY was found on Huawei E970:

This is important patch for new devices that support unaligned
addressing. That devices suffer from the backward-compatibility bug in
DMA engine. In theory we should be able to use old mechanism, but in
practice DMA address seems to be randomly copied into status register
when hardware reaches end of a ring. This breaks reading slot number
from status register and we can't use DMA anymore.

Add a new kernel config option for generic firmware partition
split support and change the uImage split support to depend on
the new option. Aslo rename the MTD_UIMAGE_SPLIT_NAME option to
MTD_SPLIT_FIRMWARE_NAME to make it more generic.
The patch is in preparation for multiple firmware format
support.

Without this patch it is impossible to read et_swtype, because the 1
byte space is needed for the terminating null byte. Now it should be
possible to read decimal and hex vars of max 8 bit.

Most of the bcm47xx devices use TRX format for storing kernel and some
partition like Squashfs or JFFS2. This is pretty flexible solution, CFE
(the bootloader) just writes (and later boots) TRX at some hardcoded
place and paritions can vary in the size.
However some devices don't use TRX format. Very recently we have
discovered ZTE H218N that has kernel and rootfs partitions at some
"random" places.
This patch allows Linux find a rootfs partition after installing custom
image with a CFE bootloader.
