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

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.

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.

rxeoc (end of channel) handler attempts to reinitialize the whole NIC,
which we don't want to do if we only received a bad packet.
1) Bite the bullet, and allow unaligned accesses without buffer copies
on the i386 platform. According to some tests run by Andrew Gallatin,
the buffer copy performance hit is greater than the unaligned access
performance hit (especially with jumbo frames). We still need to copy
everywhere else.
2) Enable interrupt moderation with a 100us timeout.

Previously, I had the MODE_1000 bit in the global config register set
unconditionally, which was wrong: we have to turn it off if we have
a 10/100 link. This is now handled in the nge_miibus_statchg() routine.

something: offset into the first mbuf of the target chain before copying
the source data over.
Make drivers using m_devget() with a first argument "data - ETHER_ALIGN"
to use the offset argument to pass ETHER_ALIGN in. The way it was previously
done is potentially dangerous if the source data was at the top of a page
and the offset caused the previous page to be copied (if the
previous page has not yet been appropriately mapped).
The old `offset' argument in m_devget() is not used anywhere (it's always
0) and dates back to ~1995 (and earlier?) when support for ethernet trailers
existed. With that support gone, it was merely collecting dust.

This fixes the memory corruption problem I've been chasing in the level 1

The DP83820/83821 has an undocumented limitation concerning jumbo frames
and TX checksum offload. In order for TX checksum offload to work, the
outgoing frame must fit entirely within the TX FIFO, which is 8192 bytes
in size. This isn't a problem, until you try to send a 9000-byte frame,
at which point the TX DMA engine goes to sleep. It turns out that if
you want to send a jumbo frame larger than 8170 bytes (8192 - 64), you
have to turn off the TX checksum support.
As a workaround, I changed nge_ioctl() so that if the user selects an
MTU larger than 8152 bytes, we clear the if_hwassist flags. The flags
will be set again once the MTU is reduced to a smaller value.

a fragment chain, not the last.

UDP checksums too, not just IP. The chip only tells us if the checksum
