Add a restriction to the size of the Rx buffer
SiS driver forces the size of any Rx buffer to be a multiple of 64 bit.
I would not be surprized that it goes along with some alignment issues
which have been experienced before. So far it does not make much of a
difference (both drivers use 1536 bytes buffer).

Extract some mac addr code from SiS's driver.
Some magic may hide beyond the isa bridge. The Rx mac control
register is now set without condition.
Note: good or bad, this part of the code is quite close to sis900.c.

Replace hardcoded constants by enumerated values in sis190_read_eeprom
The names of the enumerated values have been extracted from SiS'official
driver (v1.00.00 published on 2005/07/11).

ethtool/mii support
Bug: disabling autonegotiation and setting the link parameters at the
same time does not provide the expected result. More investigation is
needed.
Note: past the initial probe/open time, the link is managed from user-space
or accessed through sis190_phy_task, i.e. in a usermode context. Whence the
very limited locking needs.

netconsole support.
This stuff should be factored out of every driver.

Raise the sis190 driver from the dead
The driver handles the integrated network device found on SiS 965L
chipset. It follows the classical (non-napi) interrupt-driven model
and provides minimal ethtool support.
The code comes from a heavy cleanup/rewrite of the original code
which was removed from the kernel on 14/04/2004. Since the r8169
driver does not work too bad and there will probably be (at least)
a few months of improvements/testing/fixing, I made the code as
close as possible to the r8169 one.
Pascal Chapperon <pascal.chapperon@wanadoo.fr> deserves some special
credit for testing and bug-catching. Many thanks to Lars Vahlenberg
as well.
