This patch disable interrupts on all ports during initialization. The current

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.
