Xilinx IP core drivers for RTEMS- diff attached

[gregory.menke at gsfc.nasa.gov]

Hi Robert,

Its likely something missing from the patch since I had a strip out a
lot of test things from the diff.  I'll have a look at get back to you.

OTOH I continue to have problems with automake/autoconf occasionally
generating makefiles that need editing because its unclear which
versions work and which won't and RTEMS stays so close to the
toolchain's bleeding edge that its hard to tell.  So there is some
possiblity that automake/autoconf issues could be causing trouble.

Greg
