Without correct barriers, this code just plain doesn't work on the
mips74k cores (specifically the AR9344.)
In particular, the MDIO register accesses need this barriering or MII bus
access results in out-of-order garbage.
Tested:
* AR9344 (mips74k)
* AR9331 (mips24k)
This is only done if the ARGE_MDIO option is included.
* Shuffle the arge MDIO bus into a separate device, that needs to be
probed early (use hint.argemdio.X.order=0)
* hint.arge.X.mdio now specifies which miiproxy to rendezvous with.
* Call MAC/MDIO bus init during MDIO attach, not arge attach.
This is done regardless:
* Shift the arge MAC and MDIO bus reset code into separate functions
and call it early during MDIO bus attach. It's required for
correct MDIO bus IO to occur on AR71xx/AR91xx devices.
* Remove the AR71xx/AR91xx centric assumption that there's only one
MDIO bus. The initial code mapped miibus0(arge0) and miibus1(arge1)
MII register operations to the MII0 (arge0) register space. The
AR724x (and later, upcoming chipsets) have two MDIO busses and
the second is very much in use.
TODO:
* since the multiphy behaviour has changed (where now a phymask of >1
PHY will still be enumerated), multiphy setups may be quite wrong.
I'll go and fix these so they still have a chance of working, at least.
until the switch PHY support appears in -HEAD.

fixed-state media with parameters set via hints
and configure MAC accordingly to these parameters.
All the underlying PHY magic is done by boot manager
on startup. At the moment there is no proper way
to make active and control all PHYs simultaneously
from one MII bus and there is no way to associate
incoming/outgoing packet with specific PHY.
