Matt,

I have applied both changes (and updated the git tree) with a small
caveat on the second patch:

I have left out the above change i.e i kept it as
dev->xmit_win = tp->tx_pending

If you dont mind lets keep it that way for now so we dont introduce any
new variables. i.e. thats how i have been testing and collecting

If you run some tests and come up with better results by using a /4 i
would be more than happy to add it back.

Thanks very much for all your efforts - Broadcom rocks.

cheers,
jamal
