Make sure interrupts remain disabled once you reinitialize an interface
on which you have enabled polling.

This fixes the problem reported by a few people who enabled polling
from /etc/sysctl.conf .

Fixing the "fxp" driver was interesting: as a side effect of the
initialization, the chip turns interrupts on, and I was misled in
believing the opposite by the "Enable interrupts" comment in the code.
So i decided to make the code explicitly turn interrupts off even
in the "sis" driver which already had the correct code. You never know.

Note-to-self: never make assumptions on how things should work.

Note-to-others: did I test this case ? Yes, on a "sis" and "dc" board,
(the code for the latter was unintentionally lost during the final
code cleanup). I forgot to reproduce the actual problem on the "fxp",
because the interface was already initialized when i turned polling on.
