Xilinx IP core drivers for RTEMS- diff attached

Wow!  I don't know what happened, if it was the atuoconf/automake stuff
or not, but I just realized in the source tree after patching, the files
xilemac.c and xilemac.h are identical; specifically, they both contain
what should be the .c contents!  This explains why there is the #include
directive!  It may be my error, and I have to leave now so I can't
confirm one way or the other, but my guess is that you might be sending
xilemac.c to both the .c and .h files during configure.  Of course, it
may be I don't know what I'm talking about...

More tomorrow...
