[PATCH] sky2: allow dual port usage

If both ports are receiving on the SysKonnect dual port cards,
then it appears the bus interface unit can give an interrupt status
for frame before DMA has completed.  This leads to bogus frames
and general confusion. This is why receive checksumming is also
messed up on dual port cards.

A workaround for the out of order receive problem is to eliminating
split transactions on PCI-X.

This version is based of the current linux-2.6.git including earlier
patch to disable dual ports.
