[net-next 0/7] stmmac: update to Oct 2011 version (V2)

This patches update the driver adding the chained
descriptor mode and some new useful fixes.

I've reviewed some patches after the V1 and V2:

 stmmac: allow mtu bigger than 1500 in case of normal desc (V3)
   |-> removed the useless max_mtu init: Thx Eric's feedback

 stmmac: add CHAINED descriptor mode support (V3)
   |-> removed ifdef in the C and added small routines
	specialised for chained/ring modes. See comment
	within the patch itself. Thx David's feedback.

 stmmac: allow mmc usage only if feature actually available (V3)
   |-> added a check if interface is NULL

In the end, I added two new small patches:

 stmmac: use predefined macros for HW cap register fields (V3)
 stmmac: allow mmc usage only if feature actually available (V3)

made by Rayagond and reviewed/reworked by myself

Let me know if it's ok.
