Whoops, bnx2 != bnx2x....that driver needs serious help in the endianess
department, but it doesn't actually lok to hard to sort out as it seems
most of the warnings come about as the hardware structs are just not
annotated, but the correct accessors seem to be in place in the code.

In addition, there are piles of macros in the driver that really shouldn't
be.  I'll have a look this afternoon at some of the low-hanging fruit.
