Michael Brown 1ba959c6b3 [NETDEV] Add notion of link state
Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.

Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.

IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.

Michael Brown 4968caab82 Add trivial net device statistics (TX and RX packet count), reported
via UNDI API and also by ifstat command; may be useful for debugging.

Michael Brown dad5274522 Add "name" field to struct device to allow human-readable hardware device
names.

Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.

Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros.  This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).
