This commit adds driver support for the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900 and SiS 7016 PCI fast ethernet chipsets. Full manuals for the SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw. This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and alpha architectures.

The
.Nm
driver provides support for PCI ethernet adapters and embedded
controllers based on the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900
and SiS 7016 fast ethernet controller chips.
.Pp
The SiS 900 is a 100Mbps ethernet MAC and MII-compliant transceiver

that it has no internal PHY, requiring instead an external transceiver
to be attached to its MII interface.
The SiS 900 and SiS 7016 both have a 128-bit multicast hash filter
and a single perfect filter entry for the station address.
