This sure looks wrong as it sets a pointer
to unallocated memory.

So this does a memset of random memory.

        for (i = 0; i < 0x100; i += 4) {
                wrl(mp, SPECIAL_MCAST_TABLE(mp->port_num) + i, mc_spec[i >> 2]);
                wrl(mp, OTHER_MCAST_TABLE(mp->port_num) + i, mc_other[i >> 2]);
        }
