I don't think the above patch would help here too.
The patch will fix endian issues and add a lock to protect jumbo
frame handling. Stock bge(4) had no locking for jumbo frame handling
such that the use of jumbo frame always paniced entire system.
It also try to fix unloading issues observed on sparc64.
I'm still waiting for report on ia64.
BTW, the lastest patch for HEAD is available at:
