Subject: [PATCH] forcedeth: realtek phy crossover detection

This patch fixes an issue seen with the realtek 8201 phy. This phy has a 
problem with crossover detection and it needs to be disabled. The 
problem only arises on certain switches. Therefore, a module parameter 
has been added to allow enabling crossover detection if needed. The 
default will be set to disabled.
