This patch disable interrupts on all ports during initialization. The current
assumes that the firmware has already disabled all interrupts on all ports.
We have encountered some boards that do not always disable interrupts (XES
XPedite 6200 for instance) on a soft reset. This patch prevents a kernel
panic if a packet is received before the DMA ring buffers are setup for a
port on which interrupts are left enabled by the firmware.
