It is also worth noting that as released in MVL pro 4.0.1 it only
supports hard_temac 1.00.a and plb_temac 2.00.a, both of which are
tagged as deprecated in the current version (8.2.01i) of Xilinx's
EDK. The current version of {plb,hard}_temac (3.00.a) goes to great
lengths to break compatibility with older versions.  This will
presumably be fixed next month when it is rumored that wonderful new
things will come from Xilinx.  In the mean-time it is possible, though
neither simple, nor fun, to create Virtex4 designs with the older IP.
