Porting ethernet driver from FREEBSD to rtems-libbsd

[Sebastian Huber]

You have two options.

1. You port simplebus to libbsd. I tried this before and its not done in 
one day.

2. You get rid of all simplebus dependencies in the driver and use the 
libbsd nexus support. This is normally done in a couple of minutes with 
the use some hacks to get the FDT provided parameters.

To get an idea how a driver is ported see git log and look at all 
commits containing "if_cgem" in the subject.

Please help to improve the documentation (libbsd.txt) while you work on 
this topic.
