This is one of those difficult calls.  The patchset seems sane enough
but it is not exactly teeny.  It seems that all of the code here is
model specific but it is far from possible to tell if it is all
correctly aligned to the new model.

If we are able to test well with other non-new tg3 chipsets then this
seems like something which would be possible to apply.

Based on having some sensible regression testing:

I have also checked saucy and it seems all of this was present by
v3.10-rc3 so I think we are good there.  Perhaps some early testing of
tg3 there would help as well.
