[PATCH 2.6.11.7] ATA-Over-Ethernet Root device

[McMullan, Jason]

This patch allows you to use ATA Over Ethernet as your root device,
with 'root=/dev/etherd/eX.Y/disc'

Limited testing, just for review.

Advantages:
	1) Ext3 over AOE caches dirents, so it's faster and less network
	   traffic than NFS root
	2) Smaller than NFS root code (for embedded systems)
	3) Proper locking semantics with Ext3, ReiserFS, etc.
