Thanks a lot for testing.  This patch was made long time ago but I
haven't had chance to commit it due to lack of access to hardware.
Because the patch bypasses mii(4) layer and makes it hard to read
code, I didn't like the patch but it seems the patch makes bce(4)
usable on blade boxes at least.
I'll commit the patch next week.

I will do MFC to stable/[7-9]. And bce.rphy.diff should be applied
cleanly to stable/[7-9].
