switch over to opt-in instead of opt-out for epoch.
Instead of IFF_NEEDSEPOCH, provide IFF_KNOWSEPOCH. If driver marks
itself with IFF_KNOWSEPOCH, then ether_input() would not enter epoch
when processing its packets.
Now this will create recursive entrance in epoch in >90% network
drivers, but will guarantee safeness of the transition.
Mark several tested drivers as IFF_KNOWSEPOCH.

supposedly may call into ether_input() without network epoch.
They all need to be reviewed before 13.0-RELEASE. Some may need
be fixed. The flag is not planned to be used in the kernel for
a long time.
o Move similar block/networking methods to common file
o Follow r275640 and correct MMIO registers width
o Pass value to MMIO platform_note method.
