configuring libbsd for em NIC driver

[Sebastian Huber]

The currently supported platforms of libbsd Ethernet are:

o Altera Cyclone V
o Xilinx Zynq
o Freescale P1020
o Freescale MCF548x

Everything else needs some extra work. Depending on your prior knowledge 
of the system this is more or less time consuming.

I'm also not sure if this should be included here, since not all pc386 devices will have an em device. A little clarification on this would be appreciated. Maybe I should just include that line in my application code (where I configure RTEMS)?

So I moved it over, added the #include <machine/rtems-bsd-kernel-space.h> line that was common to all of the other files in the directory. I then added the file to wscript (where all of the other e1000 files were) to get it to compile.

I see the functions declared in machine/cpufunc.h (in the freebsd directory), but I don't see any definitions of them anywhere. (There are inlined versions of them in machine/cpufunc.h, but it doesn't appear to be usinf those because of a #if.) I'm not sure where those functions are supposed to be defined, so I'm a bit stuck. I'm wondering if that's the reason that the e1000_i210.c file wasn't originally included?
