The allocated RX buffer size was 64 bytes bigger than the PCI mapped
size with no good reason. If the packet was actually using the buffer up
to its limit and if the last 64 bytes of the buffer crossed 4KB boundary
then an unmapped PCI page was accessed. The fix is to use only one
parameter for the buffer size - there is no need to differentiate
between the buffer size and the PCI mapping size since the extra 64
bytes can actually be used by the FW to align the Ethernet payload to
64 bytes.

Also updating the driver version and date

The has Rx work check was wrong: when the FW was at the end of the page,
the driver was already at the beginning of the next page. Since the
check only validated that both driver and FW are pointing to the same
place, it concluded that there is still work to be done. This caused
some serious issues including long latency results on ping-pong test and
lockups while unloading the driver in that condition.

Minor code improvements
Small changes to make the code a little bit more efficient and mostly
more readable:
- Using unified macros for EMAC_RD/WR which looks like normal REG_RD/WR
- Removing the NIG_WR since it did nothing and was only confusing
- On bnx2x_panic_dump, print only the used parts of the rings
- define parameters only on the branch they are needed and not at the
  beginning of the function
- using NETIF_MSG_INTR and not private BNX2X_MSG_SP for debug prints

Change GPIO for any port
The set GPIO function should receive the port index to allow changing
the GPIO of another port. This is needed for the common init phase (one
the first driver is loaded for the chip)

Load/Unload under traffic
Few issues were found when loading and unloading under traffic:
- When receiving Tx interrupt call netif_wake_queue if the queue is
  stopped but the state is open
- Check that interrupts are enabled before doing anything else on the
  msix_fp_int function
- In nic_load, enable the interrupts only when needed and ready for it
- Function stop_leading returns status since it can fail
- Add 1ms delay when unloading the driver to validate that there are no
  open transactions that already started by the FW
- Splitting the "has work" function into Tx and Rx so the same function
  will be used on unload and interrupts
- Do not request for WoL if only resetting the device (save the time
  that it takes the FW to set the link after reset)
- Fixing the device reset after iSCSI boot and before driver load - all
  internal buffers must be cleared before the driver is loaded

- Making sure that each drop is accounted for in the driver statistics
- Clearing the FW statistics when driver is loaded to prevent
  inconsistency with HW statistics
- Once error is detected (bnx2x_panic_dump), stop the statistics
  before other actions (currently it is stopped last and can corrupt
  the data) - Adding HW checksum error counter to the statistics
- Removing unused variable stats_ticks
- Using macros instead of magic numbers to indicate which statistics are
