Raw Ethernet Adapter HIL for devices transporting IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frames.

This HIL currently only encompasses the raw datapath for IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frames. It expects frames to be fully formed with an Ethernet header containing source and destination address. Frames should not include the FCS (Frame Check Sequence) trailer.

This HIL is not stable and will be extended by subsequent contributions building out a more fully-featured in-kernel network stack. However, it is sufficient to bridge Ethernet MACs / adapters into userspace, where another network stack can be used.
