Add an alpha_mb() to agp_flush_cache for alpha -- it's not correct but may
improve the situation, and it's what linux and NetBSD do.
using the Rhine's internal shift registers which are designed
for the job. This reduces the amount of time we wait around shifting
bits, and seems to work better with some chips.
Also, provide a workaround for some newer cards which report fake PHYs
at multiple addresses. (As more cards are ID'd, I'm sure this part
of the code will have to be expanded to cover more cases.)

This patch has been tested by Thomas and other for more than a month now,
and all (known) hangs seem to be solved.
Thomas's explanation of the patch:
* Fix the problem with the printing of the RX-error.
* Code from if_fet do better deal with the RX-recovery including a
timeout of the RX-turnoff.
* The call to vr_rxeof before vr_rxeoc have been moved to a point
where the RX-part of the chip is turned off. Otherwise there is a
window where new data could have been written to the buffer chain
before the RX-part is turned off. If this happens the chip will see
a busy rx-buffer. I have no evidence that this have occured but
god knows what the chip will do in this case!
* I have added a timeout of the TX-turnoff. I have checked and in
my 900 MHz system the flags for turnoff (both RX & TX) is seen at
the first check in the loop.
* I could see that I got the VR_ISR_DROPPED interrupt sometimes and
started to thinking about this. I then realized that no recovery is
needed for this case and therefore I only count it as an rxerror
(which was not done before).
* Finally I have changed the FIFO RX threshhold to 128 bytes. When I
did this the VR_ISR_DROPPED interrupt went away. Theory: The chip
will receive a complete frame before it tries to write it out to
memory then the RX threshold is set to store'n'forward. IF the frame
is large AND the next rx frame also is large AND the bus is busy
transfering a TX frame to the TX fifo THEN the second received
frame wont fit in the FIFO and is then dropped. By having the RX
threshold set to 128 the RX fifo is emptied faster.

Re-add the enhanced PHY access register method again for older chipsets,
they do not seem to work with all old chips.

- Add conversions to/from little endian for fields that the NIC accesses
by DMA as required.
- Add some bus_dmamap_sync() calls, and correct some existing ones.
- Read the receiver information from the EEPROM in an endian-neutral
manner.
- Load all RX and TX descriptors in a single DMA map up front, and
get the bus addresses of individual descriptors by address arithmetic;
this fixes multiple use of the descriptor tags, which would have
undesired effects.
It seems that xl still does not work on e250 boxen, for reasons which

simplifies error exit cases as well. Also be sure to set errno
and clean up resources in !mac error case.
