[BNX2]: Enhance the heartbeat.
In addition to the periodic heartbeat, we're adding a heartbeat
request interrupt when the heartbeat is late. This is needed during
netpoll where the timer is not available. -rt kernels will also
benefit since the timer is not as accurate.
[ We discussed this patch last time and we decided that the -rt
kernel problem alone did not justify this patch. I think the
netpoll problem makes this patch necessary. ]
