  Log:
  Create a kernel option BGE_FAKE_AUTONEG for IBM/Intel blade servers,
  which should make the DNLK switch module work.  IBM/Intel blade server
  with Intel or AD switch modules should work without the kernel options

Please do not make this a kernel option, instead turn it into a sysctl.  I 
do not like the idea of recompiling the kernel just so that some part of a 
driver available in GENERIC can be made working.

It's non-intuitive.  We need to be dynamic. :-)
