Just a heads-up. ifconfig doesn't seem to like 32-bit base addresses.
I fear that other parts of the system will break when I set
net_device->base_addr to a 32-bit pa.

eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xfdfffc00, IRQ 11,
00:00:21:dc:5a:9a.
[...]
# ifconfig -an
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:21:DC:5A:9A
inet addr:10.10.10.198 Bcast:10.10.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

only the least significant word is shown.
