problems:
1) Add locking for SMP, code provided by Alan Cox
2) While testing Alan's patches, I observed serious problems with
the jumbo buffer allocation code (machine crashed twice), so I gutted
it and rewrote the receive handler to use multiple chained descriptors.
Each RX descriptor gets a single 2K cluster, and the chip will fill in
as many as it needs to hold the complete packet.
User reports that this corrects the data corruption issues previously
observed and discussed on -current.
Note that this driver still needs to be hit with the busdma stick.
I intend to inflict said beating in the near future.

Note: this driver does declare and occasionally reference mutexes,
but I believe not nearly enough to provide safety.
multicast hash are written. There are still two distinct algorithms used,
and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

However, they are presently necessary due to bigger bogusness in the
pci bus layer not doing the right thing on suspend/resume or on
initial device probe. This is exactly the sort of thing that the
BURN_BRIDGES option was invented for. Mark all of them as
BURN_BRIDGES. As soon as I have the powerstate stuff properly
integrated into the pci bus code, I intend to remove all these

slave (as any other input data bits from slave) when the clock
is LOW. The current code did read the bit after the clock was
driven high again.

Our current MII/PHY state-engine is not able to deal with PHY
interrupts as far as I can tell, and most net drivers don't seem
to use the link/status change call-back mechanism. It seems that
MII/PHY was orphaned before it grew up.
Rename mii_phy_auto_stop() mii_phy_down().
Introduce mii_down(), use it from nge. Do not indirect it to 19 identical

FIFO or the in-RAM descriptors it will switch to RX_IDLE from where it
is not restarted.
We used to deal with RX_IDLE by doing a total reinit but this lost
our link and caused a potential 30sec autonegotiation against
switches. This was changed to a less heavyhanded approach, but this
failed to restart the receiver it it were in the RX_IDLE state.
This change adds the RX_IDLE and the RX_FIFO_OFLOW conditions as
triggers for interrupts and receive side processing, and restarts
the receiver when it is RX_IDLE.
Remove the #ifdef notyet'ed nge_rxeoc() function.

and the NatSemi chip's RX FIFO will overflow on a 32-bit bus once you
start hitting it with 500Mbps or more of traffic.
Also increase the size of the RX ring to 128 descriptors (was 64).
