[PATCH] via-rhine: add option avoid_D3 (work around broken BIOSes)

It looks like broken BIOSes controlling Rhine chips will remain in use in
significant numbers; such systems fail to come up via PXE after they have
been put into D3 (power-saving) mode.

This patch adds a module option for disabling the call that puts the chip
to sleep.
