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.
