Adds a driver for built-in IXP4xx Ethernet MAC and HSS ports

This has gone from error to warning - fair play but if are planning  
to put this upstream this cycle (anything's possible :) ) you'll want  
to declare this driver broken on ARMEB in Kconfig please.

Personally I'd like LE ethernet tested and working before we push.

AFAIK, it's a HW limitation of the IXP4xx NPEs, or
possibly Intel's microcode for them.

I run my IXP42x boxes big-endian and don't mind doing so.
