This patch adds support for using the LL TEMAC Ethernet driver on
non-Virtex 5 platforms by adding support for accessing the Soft DMA
registers as if they were memory mapped instead of solely through the
DCR's (available on the Virtex 5).

Hi John, thanks for doing this work. A couple of comments below.

Rather than taking the ugliness an if/else block on every register
access, why not create an ops structure and populate it with the
correct access routines at runtime?

This looks like an unrelated bug fix. Please put into a separate
patch and post separately.

As you can see from the comments in the TODO section, someone thinks
(and I would tend to agree) that it would be a good idea to separate the
DMA code from the Ethernet driver entirely. I also agree with your
suggestion of avoiding the ugliness of the if/else block, but it seems
like a job better left to be done when that refactoring takes place.
This patch is only about 20 lines worth of changes, and to add a bunch
of complexity doesn't seem worthwhile to me at this time.

It is an unrelated bug fix. If it's really a big deal, I can submit a
separate patch, but it seems like it would be easier for someone to
manually make this change than for me to go back and generate a new
patch (since I'm not working on anything related to this anymore).
I apologize for being kind of a dick about this stuff, but as I said,
I'm not doing anything related to this stuff anymore. The change is
really small, but adds support for something that currently doesn't
work, so I'm hoping somebody else is willing to take up the cause in my
stead. :)

I wrote that comment, so that someone would happen to be me. :-)
Breaking the register access functions out into callbacks or an ops
callbacks structure is unrelated to the DMA refactoring task. Doing
callbacks is pretty trivial to implement and it makes things simpler,
not more complex.

Fair enough. Thanks for posting what you have.
