* Update Intel IXP4xx support

- Add IXP4xx NPE ethernet MAC support
- Add support for Intel IXDPG425 board
- Add support for Prodrive PDNB3 board
- Add IRQ support
Patch by Stefan Roese, 23 May 2006

[This patch does not include cpu/ixp/npe/IxNpeMicrocode.c which still
 sufferes from licensing issues. Blame Intel.]

+ * @file    IxQMgr.h
+ *
+ * @date    30-Oct-2001
+ *
+ * @brief This file contains the public API of IxQMgr component.
+ *
+ * Some functions contained in this module are inline to achieve better
+ * data-path performance. For this to work, the function definitions are
+ * contained in this header file. The "normal" use of inline functions
+ * is to use the inline functions in the module in which they are
+ * defined. In this case these inline functions are used in external
+ * modules and therefore the use of "inline extern". What this means
+ * is as follows: if a function foo is declared as "inline extern" this
+ * definition is only used for inlining, in no case is the function
+ * compiled on its own. If the compiler cannot inline the function it
+ * becomes an external reference. Therefore in IxQMgrQAccess.c all
+ * inline functions are defined without the "inline extern" specifier
+ * and so define the external references. In all other source files
+ * including this header file, these funtions are defined as "inline
+ * extern".
