[Click] patches for 2.6.23.12

[Adam Greenhalgh]

Joonwoo,

Thanks for the testing, I'm a bit tied-up with things at the moment so
it is going to be a fair while before I get chance to look at the
patch again. The two things that I see as important are; one to get
click compiling against 2.6.24; and two to patch the latest ixgbe and
e1000(e) drivers to use click.
