Tested with 9.1 and 10.0-Current.  Open to patches on earlier kernels for
the brave.

It's not extensively tested across all NICs yet (BCM57711E in an HP blade
system, BCM57810 w/ 10GBase-T PHY, etc. ) so some hardware specific
combinations may not work, but otherwise it's in good shape.
Really just needs some wider test before committing to the kernel.
