Moving bce_pulse() is a minimum. It might be necessary to move
some other code out of bce_attach()/bce_detach() and relocate it
to bce_init()/bce_stop() so that RX/TX MAC operations aren't
interrupted. I've not seen it done that way in other Broadcom
drivers so I wouldn't expect it to be a trivial effort.
