Value of zero was used to disable the fairness mechanism. Though the code
(driver and FW) allowed changing the value at run time, it did not allow to do
that if the mechanism was disabled to begin with.
Fixed the FW to allow turning on and off the mechanism at run time. Fixed the
code to read the value from the chip at the right sequence.
Without this fix, if the initial value was set to zero, traffic could not run on

bnx2x: Using the new FW
The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in
the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also
possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also
add some to the complicity of this change.
All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show
improvement.
Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job
and deserves credit for that.
