Enable the i82596 network chip which is included in the LASI
multi I/O chip. Since LASI has different start addresses on
the various machines, always initialize the LASI components
by their offsets.
As suggested by Mark Cave-Ayland <[email protected]>
Changes since v1:
Added proper Qemu device initialization for LASI

Thank you so much for testing the series!
Only on 715, though. The LASI Ethernet interface on B160L no longer
instantiates for me after the SeaBIOS update to version 19.
Have you actually used LASI Ethernet with B160L, or just enabled it?
I'm asking, because the current breakage of LASI Ethernet on B160L is
intentional.
LASI ethernet was mostly broken up to now. It was not enabled by default on
B160L.
Now, with Soumyajyotii's work on LASI ethernet and LASI SCSI, the goal is
to make the LASI chip fully functional including ethernet and SCSI.
To not break the already existing functional B160L machine for most users,
I introduced the 715 as testbed and new machine to independently fix LASI.
The goal is to make the virtual machines ideally 100% like the physical
machines in the long run, so when we have LASI fully working I plan to bring
it back to B160L again.
