The second commit of this driver update was supposed to be just cleanups and adjustments, but turned into something else.

Converts the WD/SMC Ethernet driver to the new TH/BH interrupt structure - and to the fully buffered regime previously added til the
ne2kdriver. Tested on 8216 and 8416 NICs on two different hardware systems. The speed is just slightly lower than the previous 'direct' version on an otherwise idle system, and probably higher than before on a loaded system.The driver uses the same
netbufs=directive as the ne2k driver. The default # of buffers is 2+2.
