o remove unused fields from softc and args from cs_alloc_irq
o remove some commented code that will never be implemented.
o Don't try to send a packet and see if it worked. We don't
need this anymore, and it doesn't add any value.
o tweaks for BNC and AUI.
o limit possible time hung in the kernel to 4s rather than 40s.
- Add a mutex to the softc to protect the softc and the device hardware.
- Add a private timer to manage transmit watchdogs rather than using
if_timer/if_watchdog.
- Setup the interrupt handler after ether_ifattach().

Provide a backwards compatible way to have the extra macro by defining
PCCARD_API_LEVEL 5 before including pccarddevs for driver writers that
want/need to have the same driver on 5 and 6 with pccard attachments.

EtherJet, the interrupt is selected in the eeprom based on the layout
of the PC Card board. Since this is encoded into the EEPROM, and has
no relationship to the IRQ that the pccard bridge routes the PC Card's
interrupt pin to.
As such, stop writing to that register. This gets my EtherJet working.
# The eeprom reading code appears to be totally wrong for my EtherJet

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.

attached and ifconfigable. The card doesn't interrupt yet.
Also, move towards bus space by introducing new macros/inline
functions which make such a move much easier than before.
These inline functions are setup now to work around an IBM EtherJet
pccard cardbus bridge incompatibility. The card works in 8 bit mode,
but not in 16-bit mode when it is connected to a cardbus bridge for
reasons unknown. The Linux driver also has a similar workaround in
it.
Future work will include making the above workaround runtime
conditional rather than compile time conditional, as well as fixing
the interrupts in pccards and converting it to bus space.
parts: isa and pccard. The isa one is known to work with an IBM
EtherJet ISA card. The pccard one isn't known to work because the
EtherJet pccard I purchased recently arrived DOA :-(. I'll commit the
pccard.conf entry when the replacement card arrives.
I plan on MFC this in a week or two.
