- Eliminate bogus makedev().
- Eliminate softc in the lower drivers, as it is no longer necessary.

MII-compliant PHY drivers. Many 10/100 ethernet NICs available today
either use an MII transceiver or have built-in transceivers that can
be programmed using an MII interface. It makes sense then to separate
this support out into common code instead of duplicating it in all
of the NIC drivers. The mii code also handles all of the media
detection, selection and reporting via the ifmedia interface.
This is basically the same code from NetBSD's /sys/dev/mii, except
it's been adapted to FreeBSD's bus architecture. The advantage to this
is that it automatically allows everything to be turned into a
loadable module. There are some common functions for use in drivers
once an miibus has been attached (mii_mediachg(), mii_pollstat(),
mii_tick()) as well as individual PHY drivers. There is also a
generic driver for all PHYs that aren't handled by a specific driver.
It's possible to do this because all 10/100 PHYs implement the same
general register set in addition to their vendor-specific register
sets, so for the most part you can use one driver for pretty much
any PHY. There are a couple of oddball exceptions though, hence
the need to have specific drivers.
There are two layers: the generic "miibus" layer and the PHY driver
layer. The drivers are child devices of "miibus" and the "miibus" is
a child of a given NIC driver. The "miibus" code and the PHY drivers
can actually be compiled and kldoaded as completely separate modules
or compiled together into one module. For the moment I'm using the
latter approach since the code is relatively small.
Currently there are only three PHY drivers here: the generic driver,
the built-in 3Com XL driver and the NS DP83840 driver. I'll be adding
others later as I convert various NIC drivers to use this code.
I realize that I'm cvs adding this stuff instead of importing it
onto a separate vendor branch, but in my opinion the import approach
doesn't really offer any significant advantage: I'm going to be
maintaining this stuff and writing my own PHY drivers one way or
the other.

Retire the at_shutdown family of functions and replace them with
new event handler lists.
Rework kern_shutdown.c to take greater advantage of the use of event

Notice that 'unit' wasn't defined once I changed the parameters of the func.
These things make me feel like wading in with a flamethrowr or something.
Too much cruft!

if_init_f_t is passed void * containing the address of ifp->if_softc
not the unit number.
Someone tell me if these things don't work as I don't have the hardware

I'll get if_ze and if_zp later.

to achieve a delay is pretty mean.
Andrew reports:
"The tulip_delay_300ns() is, well, bloody stupid on machines with a
heavily loaded PCI bus. It tries to do a delay by assuming PCI reads
will take a certain amount of time & issues a large amount of
(expensive, 5% CPU when your PCI bus is heavily loaded) pci reads.
Locally, we've replaced the calls to tulip_delay_300ns(sc) in the EMIT
macros with a simple DELAY(1) and not seen any problems. Plus we've
gained about 50Mb/sec throughput on our gigabit network cards because
of the added PCI bus bandwidth available."
Also, I do not understand why, but this change appears to stop the
Transmit Fifo underrun on one of my systems (but not the Alpha PC164SX).
This shouldn't make that much of a difference since the mii bus isn't
touched all that often, but perhaps when it does get accessed and hence
hammers the register, it was causing the chip to get upset.

printf("%x", dev) now becomes printf("%s", devtoname(dev)) because
printing actual information about the device is much more useful then
printing a pointer to an address that would never help the developer debug.
