In commit 175c0dff, drivers uses tasklet_kill to avoid put disabled tasklet
on the tasklet vec. But some of the drivers uses tasklet_init & tasklet_disable
in the driver init code, then tasklet_enable when it is opened. This makes
tasklet_enable on a killed tasklet and make ksoftirqd crazy then. Normally,
drivers should use tasklet_init/tasklet_kill on device open/remove, and use
tasklet_disable/tasklet_enable on device suspend/resume.

Some driver uses tasklet_disable in device remove/close process,
tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return. If the tasklet
is not handled yet because some softirq pressure, the tasklet will
placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to excute. This might
lead to ksoftirqd heavy loaded, wakeup with pending_softirq, but
tasklet is disabled. tasklet_kill should be used in this case.

Follow commit db62f684. Convert the driver to use the
module_platform_driver() macro which makes the code a bit smaller and
simpler.

This driver adds support for Xilinx 10/100/1000 AXI Ethernet.
It can be used, for instance, on Xilinx boards with a Microblaze
architecture like the ML605.
The patch is against the latest net-next tree and checkpatch clean.
