Any usage of sky2 on new Yukon Supreme would cause a NULL dereference.
The chip is very new, so the support is still untested; vendor has
not sent any eval hardware.

There are a couple of possible races on suspend/resume.
First the driver needs to block new packets from being queued for Tx.
The other less likely problem is the watchdog timer going off
during resume.

Fix problems in LED management, so ethtool -p works correctly on Yukon-EC
and other chips. The driver was incorrectly setting the PHY LED overide bits.
Moral: read the spec sheet, not the vendor driver.

The Yukon FE chip has a ram buffer therefore it needs the alignment
restriction and hang check workarounds.

Therefore:
  * Autodetect the prescence/absence of ram buffer
  * Rename the flag value to reflect this
  * Use it consistently (ie don't reread register)

This patch disables config mode access after clearing PCI settings.

If the sky2 deadman timer forces a recovery, the multicast hash
list is lost. Move the call to sky2_set_multicast to the end
of sky2_up() so all paths that bring device up will restore multicast.

When using larger MTU's sky2 driver changes from allocating one
data area, to using multiple pages. The threshold for this was based on
a heuristic where the cost of a single allocation is bigger than one
page.  Since the allocator has changed, this heuristic is now incorrect;
instead just make the threshold be when the total size of the allocation
is greater than one page.

The sky2 driver was not aligning the IP header on receive buffers.
This workaround is only needed on hardware with broken FIFO, newer chips
without FIFO can just DMA to unaligned address.
