I cannot sign off on this until I understand more about the impact
of this change.  Unlike the tg3 firmware which hasn't changed for at
least 4 or 5 years, the bnx2 firmware is constantly changing and it
has to match the driver.  For example, we'll be adding multi-tx ring
to the driver soon and it will require the feature in the firmware.
