-----------------------------+--------------------
 This [https://github.com/RTEMS/rtems/pull/41 pull request] (on top of the
 5 branch) breaks the mv643xx driver into two parts
  * low-level driver; independent from BSD
  * legacy BSD networking support layer
 The first is independent from RTEMS' networking support and always part of
 the BSP (can e.g., be used to implement low-level ethernet access). The
 second builds on top of the first and is only enabled when RTEMS is
 configured with legacy BSDnet support.

 Note: the driver design has not changed; there have always been two
 layers; this patch just splits the code into separate files. It is a
 necessary preparation for a new rtems-libbsd/nexus driver (which is
 submitted in a separate ticket)
