Well, his patch which I tweaked didn't have his signoff, so I didn't
think I ought to add it.

It's ibm_newemac, the file headers just haven't been updated.  The
Kconfig changes referring to ibm_emac are just because the patch moves
the suboptions for the old emac driver into their own subdirectory,
and it inhibits selecting the old emac driver in arch/powerpc.

This is just FYI at the moment, or rather, it's not really an Ebony
related patch but it's in this series because the Ebony support is
much more interesting if the ethernet works.
