  *
- * Changelog:
- * 	0.01: 05 Oct 2003: First release that compiles without warnings.
- * 	0.02: 05 Oct 2003: Fix bug for nv_drain_tx: do not try to free NULL skbs.
- * 			   Check all PCI BARs for the register window.
- * 			   udelay added to mii_rw.
- * 	0.03: 06 Oct 2003: Initialize dev->irq.
- * 	0.04: 07 Oct 2003: Initialize np->lock, reduce handled irqs, add printks.
- * 	0.05: 09 Oct 2003: printk removed again, irq status print tx_timeout.
- * 	0.06: 10 Oct 2003: MAC Address read updated, pff flag generation updated,
- * 			   irq mask updated
- * 	0.07: 14 Oct 2003: Further irq mask updates.
- * 	0.08: 20 Oct 2003: rx_desc.Length initialization added, nv_alloc_rx refill
- * 			   added into irq handler, NULL check for drain_ring.
- * 	0.09: 20 Oct 2003: Basic link speed irq implementation. Only handle the
- * 			   requested interrupt sources.
- * 	0.10: 20 Oct 2003: First cleanup for release.
- * 	0.11: 21 Oct 2003: hexdump for tx added, rx buffer sizes increased.
- * 			   MAC Address init fix, set_multicast cleanup.
- * 	0.12: 23 Oct 2003: Cleanups for release.
- * 	0.13: 25 Oct 2003: Limit for concurrent tx packets increased to 10.
- * 			   Set link speed correctly. start rx before starting
- * 			   tx (nv_start_rx sets the link speed).
- * 	0.14: 25 Oct 2003: Nic dependant irq mask.
- * 	0.15: 08 Nov 2003: fix smp deadlock with set_multicast_list during
- * 			   open.
- * 	0.16: 15 Nov 2003: include file cleanup for ppc64, rx buffer size
- * 			   increased to 1628 bytes.
- * 	0.17: 16 Nov 2003: undo rx buffer size increase. Substract 1 from
- * 			   the tx length.
- * 	0.18: 17 Nov 2003: fix oops due to late initialization of dev_stats
- * 	0.19: 29 Nov 2003: Handle RxNoBuf, detect & handle invalid mac
- * 			   addresses, really stop rx if already running
- * 			   in nv_start_rx, clean up a bit.
- * 	0.20: 07 Dec 2003: alloc fixes
- * 	0.21: 12 Jan 2004: additional alloc fix, nic polling fix.
- *	0.22: 19 Jan 2004: reprogram timer to a sane rate, avoid lockup
- *			   on close.
- *	0.23: 26 Jan 2004: various small cleanups
- *	0.24: 27 Feb 2004: make driver even less anonymous in backtraces
- *	0.25: 09 Mar 2004: wol support
- *	0.26: 03 Jun 2004: netdriver specific annotation, sparse-related fixes
- *	0.27: 19 Jun 2004: Gigabit support, new descriptor rings,
- *			   added CK804/MCP04 device IDs, code fixes
- *			   for registers, link status and other minor fixes.
- *	0.28: 21 Jun 2004: Big cleanup, making driver mostly endian safe
- *	0.29: 31 Aug 2004: Add backup timer for link change notification.
- *	0.30: 25 Sep 2004: rx checksum support for nf 250 Gb. Add rx reset
- *			   into nv_close, otherwise reenabling for wol can
- *			   cause DMA to kfree'd memory.
- *	0.31: 14 Nov 2004: ethtool support for getting/setting link
- *			   capabilities.
- *	0.32: 16 Apr 2005: RX_ERROR4 handling added.

- *	0.37: 10 Jul 2005: Additional ethtool support, cleanup of pci id list
- *	0.38: 16 Jul 2005: tx irq rewrite: Use global flags instead of
- *			   per-packet flags.
- *	0.39: 18 Jul 2005: Add 64bit descriptor support.
- *	0.40: 19 Jul 2005: Add support for mac address change.
- *	0.41: 30 Jul 2005: Write back original MAC in nv_close instead

- *	0.57: 14 May 2006: Mac address set in probe/remove and order corrections.
- *	0.58: 30 Oct 2006: Added support for sideband management unit.
- *	0.59: 30 Oct 2006: Added support for recoverable error.
- *	0.60: 20 Jan 2007: Code optimizations for rings, rx & tx data paths, and stats.
