This update fixes a transmit bug in the multi-queue (MSI-X) firmware
which happens when RDMAs complete out of order, and provides
improved support for the new Myri10GE NIC models (10G-PCIE-8Bx)

- Support for Myricom 10G-PCIE-8B NICs
- multi-slice firmware: fix a bug when the presence of 32-bit or
64-bit DMA addresses for interrupt queues and data is not uniform across
slices.
- Improves automatic selection between ethp_z8e/eth_z8e

- Fix a bug introduced in 1.4.20 where speculative read by the processor in the
write-only doorbell region would cause a target-abort (as opposed to simply
returning random data). This could manifest itself as NMI or machine freeze
depending on how the BIOS/OS/chipset configuration handles target-abort.
- Add support for new revisions of -R cards (with AEL1002/AEL1010 xaui->xfi)
- Increase an internal timing (dispatch engine): fix possible spurious reset
(seen on very few cards).
on an down mxge interface
- Fix a bug where mxge reported the link state as
active when it wasn't (after ifconfig down).
- Prevent spurious watchdog resets when link partner is not consuming
- Add support for CX4 and popular XFP media detection
- Update the firmware and associated header files to 1.4.25

- Add custom .c wrappers for the firmware, rather than the standard
firmware(9) generated firmware objects to work around toolchain
problems on ia64 involving linking objects produced by
ld -b -binary into the kernel.
- Move from using Myricom's ".dat" firmware blobs to using Myricom's
zlib compressed ".h" firmware header files. This is done to
facilitate the custom wrappers, and saves a fair amount of wired
memory in the case where the firmware is built in, or preloaded.
- Fix two compile issues in mxge which only appear on non-i386/amd64.
