Under rare conditions, the MAC might hang while generating a pause frame.
This patch fine tunes the MAC settings to avoid the issue, allows for periodic MAC state check, and triggers a recovery if hung.

Also fix one MAC statistics counter for the rev board T3B2.

This conflicts with your previously-submitted, not-yet-merged-by-Jeff
cxgb3-add-sw-lro-support.patch.

What should we do about this?

I can send you a patch against the -mm tree, if it is acceptable.

Cheers,
Divy
