[Arm-netbook] Mele A1000 ethernet

[Jorgen Lundman]

 From my inspection of the two drivers, and I initially tried to take 
dm9000 to make it work with A10. However, even though the two files are 
very similar, the sun4i wemac only does 32bit access. If the dm9000 sources 
are used (in particular ior/w) it will generally just panic, or return 
nonsense.

So the register offsets are not quite at the same offsets, and some bits 
are not the same. Without the details it would hard to guess. Most is very 
similar though.

Personally, by removing the CPU waits, it can stream 1080p video for me, 
including high-bitrate media, so I find it sufficient to my needs.

It is always good to squeeze more out of hardware of course, but I am now 
more interested in bit-streaming audio. For me, just 2 channels is not 
enough :)
