5454c3c04e Adds a CAVEATS section to mention DMA issues that currently only
a solution is using PIO mode.  As fas as I know all open source based
broadcom drivers for specially LP PHY has this issue because it's
a reverse engineered driver from wl(4).

45d9abdbc3 adds bwn(4) driver for supporting Broadcom BCM43xx chipsets.
o uses v4 firmware instead of v3.  A port will be committed to create
    the bwn firmware module.
  o supports B/G and LP(low power) PHYs.
  o supports 32 / 64 bits DMA operations.
  o tested on big / little endian machines so should work on all
    architectures.

It'd not connected to the build until the firmware port is committed.
