Dell PowerEdge 850 bge(4) RELENG_6 (WAS: Re: bge(4) problem)

[Brian A. Seklecki]

I see that this has been commited to -rHEAD with an RPF/MFC for two weeks 
from the 24th (so, ~~ Sep 7th-8th, 2006).

Thank you very much!  Did you need anything else from us?  Perhaps a 
send-pr(1) we can forward to the OpenBSD/NetBSD folks?

TIA,
~BAS

Diff to previous 1.139 (colored)

Properly lock ifmedia callbacks. This should prevent concurrent access to 
PHY.
Following issues should be resolved:
- random watchdog timeouts (caused by concurrent phy access)
- some link state issues
- non working TX if media type was set explicitly
