Andrew, 

Please apply; these patches obsolete/replace the series of 16 patches
I'd previously sent, by addressing problems raised by Christoph Hellwig
and Jeff Garzik. 

Most of te focus of this series of patches is to simplify the RX code
be removing extraneous flags, branches, arguments, etc. The first
few patches are the biggest: using dma_alloc_coherent for the rings,
and removing a bogus tasklet that does work that could be better done in
the poll loop. The rest are mostly cleanup.
