bge(4) one packet wedge

  Colleagues,

  pondering on the Linux driver more I have found that the only
thing that fixed this problem on 5700 (no status tag support) is
the hack in the local timer.

  So, I have prepared a hack that fixes my problem. Certainly,
the performance of request-response test is awful, since chip
wedges for a fraction of a second many times per minute. But at
least, it doesn't wedge forever.

  I will continue working on the patch so that it will support
the tagged controllers, but I need one to test.

P.S. Looks like 5700 is not usable for my benchmarking in the
request-response tests.
