Subject: [patch 18/19] mv643xx ethernet driver IRQ registration fix

From: Giridhar Pemmasani <giri@....cs.sunysb.edu>

During initialization, mv643xx driver registers IRQ before setting up tx/rx
rings.  This causes kernel oops because mv643xx_poll, which gets called
right after registering IRQ, calls netif_rx_complete, which accesses the rx
ring (I don't have the oops message anymore; I just remember this sequence
of calls).  Attached (tested) patch first initializes the rx/tx rings and
then registers the IRQ.
