The following patch reworks the myri10ge driver to use physical pages for skb 
allocation. A similar patch has been submitted about a month ago within our LRO 
patches. The LRO code won't be sent here since we are waiting for the core 
stack to implement a generic LRO.

Please consider this single patch for 2.6.20.

As explained previously, the complete driver code in our CVS also supports 
high-order allocations instead of single physical pages since it significantly 
increase the performance. But, since high-order allocations are generally 
considered a bad idea, we do not include the relevant code in the following 
patch for inclusion in Linux. Here, we simply pass order=0 to all page 
allocation routines.

Thanks,
Brice
