Add module option to enable 3c59x driver to use memory-mapped PCI I/O
resources.  This may improve performance for those devices so equipped.

Add "use_mmio=1" to the 3c59x module options in order to enable this
functionality.

I'm not sure a module option makes sense for this setting, except maybe
as a debugging aid.  You should rather have a flag in the PCI IDs private
data that can be used to enable mmio for those cards that support it.

I guess it's OK for the initial testing.  Plus we should make the new
feature default to "on" during initial public testing.  I'll make that
change.
