PATCH 1/1 PowerPC Virtual Ethernet driver

Marcelo,

This patch adds the inter-partition Virtual Ethernet driver for newer IBM iSeries and pSeries systems... It applies against your latest tree (2.4.27-pre2)... Jeff Garzik approved it a while ago and it has the latests bug fixes from the 2.6 version...

Please apply,

Thanks...

I've already sent it to Marcelo, it's waiting for him to apply.
