- Changed some debug statistic variable names to be more consistent.

TX traffic to sit in the send chain until a received packet kick
started the interrupt handler. This would cause extremely slow
performance when used with NFS over UDP.
- Removed untested polling code.
- Updated copyright year in the file header.
- Removed inadvertent ^M's created by DOS text editor.

- Added loose RX MTU functionality to allow frames larger than 1500 bytes
to be accepted even though the interface MTU is set to 1500.
- Implemented new TCP header splitting/jumbo frame support which uses
two chains for receive traffic rather than the original single recevie
chain.
- Added additional debug support code.
errors (especially when jumbo frames are enabled or in low memory systems)
because the RX chain was corrupted when an mbuf was mapped to an unexpected
number of buffers.
- Fixed a problem that would cause kernel panics when an excessively
fragmented TX mbuf couldn't be defragmented and was released by
bce_tx_encap().

- Updated firmware to latest release (v3.4.8) to fix TSO + jumbo frame lockup
- Added MSI (hw.bce.msi_enable) and TSO (hw.bce.tso_enable) sysctls
- Fixed kernel panic when MSI is used and module is unloaded
- Added several new debug routines
- Removed slack space for RX/TX chains since it only covers sloppy coding
- Fixed a potential problem when programming jumbo MTU size in hardware
- Various other comment changes

Updated copyright date to 2007.
Tested with BCM5706 A3.
Added ID for BCM5708 B2.
Removed unused driver version string.
Modified BCE_PRINTF macro to automatically fill-in the sc pointer.
Fixed a kernel panic when the driver was loaded as a module from the
command-line because the MII bus pointer was null (i.e. the MII bus
hadn't been enumerated yet).
Added fix proposed by Vladimir Ivanov <wawa@yandex-team.ru> to prevent
driver state corruption when releasing the lock during the ISR in
bce_rx_intr() to send packets up the stack.
Added new TX chain and register read sysctl interfaces for debugging.
Cleaned up formatting for various other debug routines.
Added a new statistic maintained by firmware which tracks the number
of received packets dropped because no receive buffers are available.
