- Add a mutex to the softc to protect the softc and device hardware.
- Use a private timer to implement a watchdog for tx timeouts and drive
the timer for auto negotiation.
- Use bus_foo() rather than bus_space_foo() and remove the bus space
tag & handle from the softc.
- Call bus_setup_intr() after ether_ifattach().

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

chip int. and ext. clock synchronisation). Fixed workaround for
transmit threshold underrun. Added volatile keyword to CSR_READ_* and
CSR_WRITE_* macroses. Added DELAYs to eliminate randomness caused
by processor speed. Fixed all TXCON and RXCON registers to be accessed
only when chip is idle, as manual told. Changed epic_init_phy to
drop link by isolating and going loopback, should should force link
partner to restart autonegotiation.
