David, would you look over this patch and apply/modify?

I would prefer to use the generic ethtool_op_get_link, because (a) 
sungem is already using netif_carrier_xxx, and (b) if ->get_link ever 
returns an incorrect value, that signals a netif_carrier_xxx bug exists.

As a tangent, gem_pcs_interrupt appears to call netif_carrier_xxx but 
not set gem->lstate.  David/Ben, is that a bug?

Thanks,

	Jeff
