alx: add a simple AR816x/AR817x device driver
This is a very simple driver, based on the original vendor driver that Qualcomm/Atheros published/submitted previously, but reworked to make the code saner. However, it also lost a number of features (TSO/GSO, VLAN acceleration and multi- queue support) in the process, as well as debugging support features I didn't have any use for. The only thing I left is checksum offload. More features can obviously be added, but this seemed like a good start for having a driver in mainline at all. Johannes Stezenbach has verified that the driver works on AR8161, I have a AR8171 myself. The E2200 device ID I found on github in somebody's repository.
