Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] sfc: Fix oops in register dump after mapping change

Commit 747df2258b1b9a2e25929ef496262c339c380009 ('sfc: Always map MCDI
shared memory as uncacheable') introduced a separate mapping for the
MCDI shared memory (MC_TREG_SMEM).  This means we can no longer easily
include it in the register dump.  Since it is not particularly useful
in debugging, substitute a recognisable dummy value.

'ethtool -d' on a Siena controller will now result in an 'oops'.  This
is not a huge problem because I suspect I'm the only one actually
actually using this feature.  The patch is against net-2.6 because the
above commit has not yet been merged into net-next-2.6, but I don't
particularly mind if this misses 2.6.39.

Ben.
