kern/123347: [bge] bge1: watchdog timeout -- linkstate changedto DOWN

[adam at mhm.lv]

I guess it does, since this nightmere is being reported with different NICs 
and drivers including Intel NICs on em driver and 3Com NICs on bge and xl 
drivers on 6.3-RELEASE , 6-STABLE, 7.0-RELEAE and 7-STABLE.

The mailing list if  full of  too many questions regarding this issue and no 
answer!

If it realy doesn't worth a high priority flag, then I do appolgize and I 
shoud fall back to 4.11-RELEASE which worked on the same hardware like a 
sandwatch!
