code update, with supporting changes in the CORE. Changes for the extended
media types, VF driver has virtual channel protocol changes, and some
register use corrections. This software change should be coordinated with
Firmware updates to your hardware, contact your support channels for that.

- It was decided to change the driver name to if_ixl for FreeBSD
- This release adds the VF Driver to the tree, it can be built into
the kernel or as the if_ixlv module
- The VF driver is independent for the first time, this will be
desireable when full SRIOV capability is added to the OS.
- Thanks to my new coworker Eric Joyner for his superb work in
both the core and vf driver code.
Enjoy everyone!
