This patch ensures a fair distribution of buffers, when two AIMs share a
single channel. The AIMs then won't be able to use more than half of all
pre-allocated buffers of the linked channel. However, in case the channel
is not shared, the AIM can exclusively use all available buffers.

If the network device is being opened right after it has been registered
via function register_netdev(), the device state is not yet consistent in
the context of function ndo_open(). This patch cares about having the
initialization done right, before the networking device is registered.

This patch adds the aim-network module of the MOST driver to the kernel's
driver staging area. This module is part of the MOST driver and handles
user space interaction by means of network devices.
This patch is needed in order to have access to MOST Ethernet Packets (MEP)
through a networking device.
