Change GPIO for any port
The set GPIO function should receive the port index to allow changing
the GPIO of another port. This is needed for the common init phase (one
the first driver is loaded for the chip)

Pause settings
- 1G pause was not working due to missing write to the emac block
(TX_MODE_FLOW_EN)
- The flow control should use the negotiated result (after autoneg) so
we should save both the requested autoneg and the result
- The HW credits with flow control at 1G speed were not optimized and
caused low throughput
- It is recommended to turn off flow control if the MTU is bigger than
5000B due to internal buffers size

Link order with external PHY
When external PHY exists (second chip with the PHY to translate to
another physical medium) the link with the eternal PHY and the network
should be established before setting the link between the 5771x and the
PHY. This is the right order and it is important when using autoneg -
the link to the network should use the autoneg and the link between the
two chips should be forced to the network result.

Supporting the 57711 and 57711E - refers to in the code as E1H. The
57710 is referred to as E1.
To support the new members in the family, the bnx2x structure was
divided to 3 parts: common, port and function. These changes caused some
rearrangement in the bnx2x.h file.
A set of accessories macros were added to make access to the bnx2x
structure more readable

This patch is int the new bnx2x_link files (C and H). The files are
still not used in this patch, only in the next one so the patch will
be small enough for the mailing list.
