It works and I have tested it (test polling in dfly is much easier...)

I have adjusted following two things:
1) process POLL_AND_CHECK_STATUS in bce_poll(), which will affect link status.
2) in bce_rx_intr(), we can't just process 'count' packets and leave,
we need to process until there are no remaining packets in the current
round, but don't update RX consumer index again in as we do in RX intr
processing.

1) was made before my first round polling testing, so I don't know
whether it will have great impact on the bce(4).  But 2) does make
things work.

Best Regards,
sephe
