Cover letter [PATCH 0/0] sky2: update for 2.6.24

This version includes some new features:
* support for new FE+ chips (not tested)

* use PCI functions. The only reason the driver wasn't doing it was the advanced error bits weren't accessbile on busted AMD chipsets without MMCONFIG access.

* use PCI error recovery functions to access those functions. If no mmconfig then driver has to ignore PCI Express errors.

* provide receive skb timestamping in driver. This is a big win because it saves an expensive time of day access per packet.

Tested on most chips already.
It would be good to put these in -mm to catch any
early problems.
