this patch is required to get a SIS964 based motherboard ethernet working (FSC D1875)
(picking the #1 transceiver, instead of the last one, in case no known ones were found
might be a better default, and would have worked in this case too)

Fix two bugs in the WoL implementation of sis900. The first causes
hangs on some system on driver load, the second causes troubles
when disabling WoL support. Both fixes are one liner and really
simple.

Sorry, but that day I had smoked somthing too heavy for me, the patch
didn't apply. Here's a new one.
The patch availble below adds support for Wake on LAN to the sis900
driver. Some register addresses were added to sis900.h and two new
functions were implemented in sis900.c. WoL status is controlled by
ethtool.
Patch is against 2.6.13.
Comments are welcome, but also consider for inclusion in the -mm series.

1) Forgotten counter incrementation in sis900_rx() in case
it doesn't get memory for skb, that leads to whole interface failure.
Problem is accompanied with messages:
eth0: Memory squeeze,deferring packet.
eth0: NULL pointer encountered in Rx ring, skipping
2) If counter cur_rx overflows and there'll be temporary memory problems
buffer can't be recreated later, when memory IS available.
3) Limit the work in handler to prevent the endless packets processing
if new packets are generated faster then handled.

Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
... skb->tail ...
But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.
Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.
Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

Use the DMA_32BIT_MASK constant from dma-mapping.h when calling
pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() instead of custom
macros.
This patch includes dma-mapping.h explicitly because it caused errors
on some architectures otherwise.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
