Fix round of changes:

* kgdbeth_opt does not initialize ipaddrptr -> this could not have
ever worked. [Okay, it still does not work].

* Add some basic documentation

* reply_arp can be static, AFAICS

* getDebugChar() no longer exists, kill it from the docs, read_char()
should be equivalent.

* eth_PutDebugChar() seems to be no longer used. Kill it.

Please apply,
									Pavel
