Benjamin Herrenschmidt 937f1ba56b net: Add init_dummy_netdev() and fix EMAC driver using it ...

This adds an init_dummy_netdev() function that gets a network device
structure (allocation and lifetime entirely under caller's control) and
initialize the minimum amount of fields so it can be used to schedule
NAPI polls without registering a full blown interface. This is to be
used by drivers that need to tie several hardware interfaces to a single
NAPI poll scheduler due to HW limitations.

It also updates the ibm_newemac driver to use that, this fixing the
oops on 2.6.29 due to passing NULL as "dev" to netif_napi_add()

Symbol is exported GPL only a I don't think we want binary drivers doing
that sort of acrobatics (if we want them at all).
