The iteration that inserted this bug was such a quick fix that I didn`t
bother rerunning it.  It just modified the type variable.  Take my word
it was a one time honest mistake.

The last iteration, as well as all of the previous ones were tested on
Power servers with bnx2x adapters.  The tests included stressing the
device and several iterations of hotplugging the adapter, helping us to
verify correctness of the rx queue operation as well as verifying that DMA
mapping/unmapping were correct.
