The Yukon EC Ultra chips have transmit settings for store and
forward and PCI buffering. By setting these appropriately, normal
performance goes from 750Mbytes/sec to 940Mbytes/sec (non-jumbo).
It is also possible to do Jumbo mode, but it means turning off
TSO and checksum offload so the performance gets worse. There isn't
enough buffering for checksum offload to work.

This patch makes the receive performance on some systems go from

to be lower, thereby avoiding excess hardware flow control. This is

The result of flow control negotiation should not limit the next

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
