Subject: drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

Subject: net: Guaranetee the proper ordering of the loopback device.

I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace
cleanup.  In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have
and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going
on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the
loopback device is present.   Things like sending igmp unsubscribe
messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing
code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present.

Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard
to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the
loopback device directly from net_dev_init().    This guarantes
that the loopback device is the first device registered and
the last network device to go away.

But do it carefully so we register the loopback device after
we clear dev_boot_phase.

Subject: netdev: add more functions to netdevice ops

This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops
structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well.
Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this.

Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce
any impact this would have.
