When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.
To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.
Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.
This patch annotates drivers in drivers/net/ethernet/.

Removed the shared ei_debug variable. Replaced it by adding u32 msg_enable to
the private struct ei_device. Now each 8390 ethernet instance has a per-device
logging variable.
Changed older style printk() calls to more canonical forms.
Tested on: ne, ne2k-pci, smc-ultra, and wd hardware.
V4.0
- Substituted pr_info() and pr_debug() for printk() KERN_INFO and KERN_DEBUG
V3.0
- Checked for cases where pr_cont() was most appropriate choice.
- Changed module parameter from 'debug' to 'msg_enable' because debug was
no longer the best description.
V2.0
- Changed netif_msg_(drv|probe|ifdown|rx_err|tx_err|tx_queued|intr|rx_status|hw)
to netif_(dbg|info|warn|err) where possible.

Without this udev doesn't have a way to key the ne device to the platform
device.

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing
it. Performed with the following command:
perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*<asm/system[.]h>.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*<asm/system[.]h>' *`
