New development version:

	http://sf.net/projects/e1000, e100-3.0.0_dev11.tar.gz

Many thanks to JC [jchapman@katalix.com] for exploring the small packet
performance w/ and w/o NAPI.  This version includes one of his
optimization; others may follow, but I wanted to get this goodness out
now.

* added opportunistic fast loop (no udelays) in 
  e100_exec_cmd to wait for previous cmd to be
  accepted before queuing next cmd.  Boost 
  small packet performance.  [jchapman@katalix.com].
* Use correct versions of dev_kfree_skb for depending
  on possible contexts.  [jchapman@katalix.com].
* Added SET_NETDEV_DEV().

Looking for more testing on non-IA archs, power management, cardbus
nics, and WoL.
