As I promised last week, here is the first pass at removing all
unnecessary printk's that exist in network device drivers currently in
promiscuous mode. The duplicate messages are not needed so they have
been removed. Some of these drivers are quite old and might not need an
update, but I did them all anyway.
I am currently auditing the remaining conditional printk's and will send
out a patch for those soon.

For messages prior to register_netdev(), prefer dev_printk() because
that prints out both our driver name and our [PCI | whatever] bus id.
Updates: 8139{cp,too}, b44, bnx2, cassini, {eepro,epic}100, fealnx,
hamachi, ne2k-pci, ns83820, pci-skeleton, r8169.

When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver
set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was
maintained in the driver source code. These days, the kernel's
changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver
changelogs are removed.
Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using
"foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like
"1.17b-LK1.1.9". These drivers are for older hardware, and see few
changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something
more simple.
Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes
the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro.

All uses of ADDRLEN are comparisons with 64 (it's an address width).
added define to 32 (again, we only care about comparisons with 64)
if not defined.

Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
... skb->tail ...
But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.
Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.
Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
