I'm sorry, but obviously my C skills are way to low to make a local MFC
of if_bge.c - it differs way too much from the 8.3-STABLE version, and
it affects lots of other stuff (mostly in /usr/src/dev/mii and
/usr/src/sys/sys). I tried to do this, but I failed completely. Could
you please do a patch for me or can this be really MFC'd ? I got a bunch
of bge timeouts on a 8.3-STABLE machine we talked about earlier just
this morning. I really think this may become a problem for other people
too. Yup, there's another option - to upgrade to 9.x, but right now I
have unresolved issues with 9.x.

Thanks.
Eugene.
