Subject: [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.
