This patch makes the receive performance on some systems go from
714MB/s to 941MB/s. It adjusts the watermark of the receive queue
to be lower, thereby avoiding excess hardware flow control. This is
most important on the systems which have little/no additional buffering.

The result of flow control negotiation should not limit the next
negotiatition. If board is plugged into an old half duplex 10Mbit port,
without pause, then replugged into a gigabit port, it should negotiate
what is desired, not inherit that last negotiation.

The pci express error handling extensions don't work unless PCI access is via
mmconfig. Otherwise, all accesses to pci config registers greater than 256 fail.
Since the sky2 driver has other ways of getting to PCI config space, it works
around this short coming, but the pci_find_ext_capablity doesn't work.
This backs out commit 91aeb3edbc
Go back to hardcoding, since we know where the error registers are anyway.

Since a transmit can take several control blocks, the old code waited

Here is revised patch against netdev sky2 branch.
It includes whitespace fixes, all the changes from the previous
review as well as some optimizations and timing fixes to
solve some of the hangs.
The stall problem is better but not perfect. It appears that
under stress the chip can't keep up with the bus
and sends a pause frame, then hangs. This version is for
testing, and hopefully other eyes might see the root
cause of the problem.
I don't want to reinvent the ugly watchdog code in the syskonnect
version of sk98lin. If you read it you will see, the original
driver writer and the hardware developer obviously didn't
understand each other.
Dual port support is included, but not tested yet. It did
require small change to NAPI since both ports share same
IRQ.

New driver for the Marvell Yukon2 Gigabit Ethernet chipset.
This driver is based on the skge driver, but using the logic

It should support all the Yukon2 chipsets that are available

The driver does support ethtool, tx and rx checksum, and
tcp segmentation offload. But it has only been tested for
a short while and is known to stop receiving under heavy load.
