Please pull from branch 'ipg-fixes' in repository

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/romieu/netdev-2.6.git ipg-fixes

to get the changes below.

I have tested the driver with a PIV HT based motherboard. The network
controller is connected to a fast ethernet switch (yeah, I'm cheap).
A second host is performing two loop of scp in both direction for a
400Mb file. The files are sha1sumed after each scp. I have added a
'ping -q -f -l16' from the computer under test after some time.

After 35 copies from the computer under test and 28 copies to it
(the ping eats a bit):

/proc/slabinfo before and after the test are attached.

The driver is still a POMS but it seems better now.

I will not be available to work further on this issue before sunday.
I'd appreciate being Cced though.
