Applied with a "but"...  This patch still contains some errors WRT 8139 
hardware and the RX path.  But I'm comfortable with nailing those 
problems down during public testing of net-drivers-2.5-exp.

Hirofumi, Stephen, and others, please test, particularly packet floods 
with (a) tiny packets and (b) huge packets.  Ditto Jes, if you've still 
got hardware, and are interested in DoS fixes in 8139too.
