the standard etherboot uses a device for timing that does not really exist
on the smartcores. Net effect is that there are no timeouts -- timeouts in
effect are always 0. So everything always times out instantaneously. Oops.

has the added advantage of not putting any activity on the I/O bus.
I'll try to get a reasonable diff against the latest rev and see what you
thinkg.
