ATA over Ethernet driver 57 (For Linux 2.6 branch)

This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0). License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
The size of the data payload in each AoE packet is now exported for each AoE target. Various code cleanups were performed to bring the driver closer to the kernel.org driver.
