-TODO:
-       - move firmware loading to request_firmware()
-       - remove direct memory access of structures
-       - any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings
-
-       - use net_device_ops
-       - use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats
-       - don't cast netdev_priv it is already void
-       - GET RID OF MACROS
-       - work on all architectures
-          - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion
-          - do 64 bit correctly
-          - don't depend on order of union
-       - get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary
-         looks like most aren't really useful
-       - no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed
-       - don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation
-         use ethtool instead
-       - reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations
-       - don't keep private linked list of drivers.
-       - remove all the gratiutous debug infrastructure
-       - use PCI_DEVICE()
-       - do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops
-       - NAPI?
-       - wasted overhead of extra stats
-       - state variables for things that are
-         easily available and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ...
-         slotnumber, events, ...
-       - get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper
-       - volatile == bad design => bad code
-       - locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks
-         at problem
