Fix OOM handling, mv643xx_eth will currently just get into an infinite netdev_alloc_skb() loop on OOM due to a logic bug. 2. Fix problem where hardware 64bit MIB counters are actually 32bit (and reads from the upper and lower halves have the same effect), which can cause the software stats counters to spuriously increment by some multiple of 2^32 if a packet comes in at the right moment. Since these should also go into 2.6.29.X, I added "Cc: stable@kernel.org" on both. Please apply, thanks!
