Clear separation of cast-type determination (send path) for layer-2
resp. layer-3. Allowing to have inline functions for qeth layer-
discipline.

Qeth HiperSockets support now retries sending of packets when the
IBM System z signals a temporary resource shortage (e.g. target
buffer full). The packet is enqueued into the device queue.
After 3 times of unsuccessful send the packet is dropped.

Performance measurements showed EDDP does not lower CPU costs but increase
them. So we dump out EDDP code from qeth driver.

OSA-devices operating in layer3 mode offer adding of the source MAC
address to the QDIO header of inbound packets. The qeth driver can
exploit this functionality to replace FAKELL-entries in the ethernet
header of received packets.

Add a new proc interface /proc/service_levels that allows any code
to report a relevant service level, e.g. the microcode level of
devices, the service level of the hypervisor, etc.

For hiper socket devices this patch will economize the reallocation
of the tx skb data segment by allocating separate memory for the qdio
transport information (qeth header).

Load balancing bonding queries the speed of the slave interfaces.
To support a bond consisting of different slave speeds we have to
report the speed by ethtool settings.
