dev.bce.<unit>.nvram_dump
Add the capability to write the complete contents of the NVRAM via sysctl
dev.bce.<unit>.nvram_write
These are only available if the kernel option BCE_DEBUG is enabled.
The nvram_write sysctl also requires the kernel option
BCE_NVRAM_WRITE_SUPPORT to be enabled. These are to be used at your
own caution. Since the MAC addresses are stored in the NVRAM, if you
dump one NIC and restore it on another NIC the destination NIC's
MAC addresses will not be preserved. A tool can be made using these
sysctl's to manage the on-chip firmware.

allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

- In bce_rx_intr(), use BUS_DMASYNC_POSTREAD instead of
BUS_DMASYNC_POSTWRITE, as we want to "read" from the

aligned on an 8 byte boundary. Prior to rev 1.36 this wasn't a problem
because mbuf clusters tend be naturally aligned. The switch to using
split buffers with the first buffer being the embedded data area of the
mbuf has broken this assumption, at least on i386, causing a complete
failure of RX functionality. Fix this for now by using a full cluster for
the first RX buffer. A more sophisticated approach could be done with the
old buffer scheme to realign the m_data pointer with m_adj(), but I'm also
not clear on performance benefits of this old scheme or the performance
implications of adding an m_adj() call to every allocation.
