[BNX2]: Fix Xen problem.
This fixes the problem of not receiving packets in the Xen bridging
environment. The Xen script sets the device's MAC address to
FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and puts the device in promiscuous mode. The
firmware had problem receiving all packets in this configuration.
New firmware and setting the PROM_VLAN bit when in promiscuous mode
will fix this problem.
