Several components to this complex fix. The es2lan cards occasionally
gave a "HW Error" especially when forcing speed. Some users also
reported that the BMC stole ARP packets.
The fixes include setting the proper SW_FW bits to tell the BMC
that we're active and not do any un-initialization at all, so the
setup routine is largely changed.

Several stats registers are completely unused and we just waste pci
bus time reading them. We also omit using the high 32 bits of the GORC/
GOTC counters. We can just read clear them and only read the low registers.
Mii-tool can also break es2lan if it executes a MII PHY register
ioctl while the device is in autonegotiation. Unfortunately it seems
that several applications and installations still perform this ioctl
call periodically and especially in this crucial startup time. We
can fool the ioctl by providing fail safe information that mimics
the "down" link state and only perform the dangerous PHY reads once
after link comes up to fill in the real values. As long as link
stays up the information will not change.

Ethtool supports wake-on-ARP and wake-on-link, and so does the hardware
supported by e1000e. This patch just introduces the two.

This driver implements support for the ICH9 on-board LAN ethernet
device. The device is similar to ICH8.
The driver encompasses code to support 82571/2/3, es2lan and ICH8
devices as well, but those device IDs are disabled and will be
"lifted" from the e1000 driver over one at a time once this driver
receives some more live time.
Changes to the last snapshot posted are exclusively in the internal
hardware API organization. Many thanks to Jeff Garzik for jumping in
and getting this organized with a keen eye on the future layout.
