patch for kern/94863: hack to get bge(4) working on IBM e326m

Following up, I don't think that it is sufficient to treat this chip  
as a 5714.  I'm doing a buildworld from an NFS mounted /usr/src to a  
local /usr/obj while the output is going to my ssh login terminal  
window.  Every 5 to 7 minutes, I get this in the system log:

Mar 30 15:27:47 neo kernel: nfs server yertle:/usr/src: not responding
Mar 30 15:27:55 neo kernel: bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Mar 30 15:27:55 neo kernel: bge0: link state changed to DOWN
Mar 30 15:27:57 neo kernel: bge0: link state changed to UP
Mar 30 15:27:58 neo kernel: nfs server yertle:/usr/src: is alive again

and it picks up where it left off on the buildworld.

FWIW here is a patch to implement my earlier hack.  It obviously  
needs someone to go and see how the latest linux kernel supports this  
chipset.  I've decided to go buy a Sun instead :-)
