First pass:
- please reorder the code so that the forward declarations are not needed
- the typedefs (say PQL3XXX_PORT_REGISTERS) hide pointer information.
  They are useless (and capitalized :o/ ). Just say no to typedef.
- the debug functions abuse copy/paste. Please use struct array + loop
  if you really want these to stay.
- "return" is not a function. It does not need parenthesis.
- 80 colums disease in ql_link_state_machine. The indentation is terrible.
- label for goto should be at the start of the line.
- acquire_adapter_lock must go. Conditional locking is a pain to maintain.
- the error path in ql3xxx_probe is broken. Use named _and_ numbered
  goto if you want to avoid it (i.e. "goto err_undo_something_1" then
  "goto err_undo_something_else_2", etc.).
- ql_set_ethtool_ops() is useless bloat. Please remove.
- QL_LOCK_DRVR_WAIT should be a function, not a macro
- the status code should be propagated (request_irq, pci_enable_device,
  pci_request_regions, etc.).
- no __iomem, __u32, __le32 ? Seems strange.
- replace return (0) with NETDEV_TX_OK in ql3xxx_send
  (and s/send/start_xmit/ ?).
