[Bug 384403] Re: Marvell 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller not working in karmic

Ok this has been accepted upstream and hit the mainline kernel, should
hit our kernels in the 2.6.31-rc1 resync.

    sky2: don't look for VPD size
    
    The code to compute VPD size didn't handle some systems that use
    chip without VPD. Also some of the newer chips use some additional
    registers to store the actual size, and wasn't worth putting the
    additional complexity in, so just remove the code.
    
    No big loss since the code to set the VPD size was only a
    convenience so that utilities would not read the extra space past
    the end of the available VPD.
    
    Move the first PCI config read earlier to detect bad hardware
    where it returns all ones and refuse loading driver before furthur
    damage.
