- request shared irq
- allocate memory
- init chipset

It may have worked so far but you ought to nail it before your
changes start to look like regression (if shit can happen, it will).

Btw:
- alloc_list should not be allowed to return partially filled receive
  ring. Please make it return a proper status code.
  The driver itself should rather drop received data than leave holes
  in its receive ring.
- the suspend / resume logic does not need a complete free / alloc
  cycle. Use the same buffers and reset the cur_tx, cur_rx indexes
  as needed.

Go wild.
