Personally, I'm mostly trying to fix what's quite a nasty problem with
the existing driver, i.e. a nic where tx stops working after certain
media conditions.

Maybe it's just me (particularly now faced with a 3k+ line diff with a
bunch of changes in that are unrelated to the problems that it's been
reported to fix), but I think it's quite important to do things step by
step, the diffs to implement different things should be separated as
much as possible so it's easier to follow what changes have been made.

Surely the infrastructure would need to come first otherwise we'd
just be adding code to drivers that can't be tested?
