Match the Marvell Discovery II/III northbridge pci id to add hotplug
support for the builtin gigabit ethernet driver (mv643xx_eth).

Since i couldn't find any trace of this patch either in the -mm tree or the
-netdev one, i am now resubmitting a cleaned up version of this patch.

The patch was originally submitted on october 25 2005, and signed off by :

Altough the proper solution to this issue would be to add hotplug support to
the plateform devices through the OF device tree, no support for this has been
added since last year, and with most major distribution having switched to
using udev or something similar, it is important to have a solution for
autoloading this driver. This patch has been in activity in the debian
distribution since last year, and it is possible other distributions use it as
well.

So, i wonder if it would be possible to still add it to 2.6.19, even though
the official schedule is closed, or if not, to add it for 2.6.20 ? 

Friendly,

Sven Luther
