    This adds support for the SFC9000 family of 10G Ethernet controllers
    and LAN-on-motherboard chips, starting with the SFL9021 'Siena' and
    SFC9020 'Bethpage'.
    
    The SFC9000 family is based on the SFC4000 'Falcon' architecture, but
    with some significant changes:
    
    - Two ports are associated with two independent PCI functions
      (except SFC9010)
    - Integrated 10GBASE-T PHY(s) (SFL9021/9022)
    - MAC, PHY and board peripherals are managed by firmware
      - Driver does not require board-specific code
      - Firmware supports wake-on-LAN and lights-out management through NC-SI
    - IPv6 checksum offload and RSS
    - Filtering by MAC address and VLAN (not included in this code)
    - PCI SR-IOV (not included in this code)
