Document more VIA Velocity family controllers to vge(4). Previously

Browse Source 
it mentioned only VT6122. While I'm here remove the mention of
VT3119 which seems to be VIA's internal model name and VT3119
wouldn't be available to end users.

The VT6122 is a 33/66Mhz 64-bit PCI device which combines a tri-speed MAC with
an integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY.
The VT6120/VT6122 is a 33/66Mhz 64-bit PCI device which combines a tri-speed
MAC with an integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY.
(Some older cards use an external PHY.)
The VT6130/VT6132 is the PCI express version of Velocity family.
The MAC supports TCP/IP hardware
checksums (IPv4 only), TCP large send, VLAN tag insertion and stripping,
as well as VLAN filtering, a 64-entry CAM filter and a 64-entry VLAN filter,
64-bit multicast hash filter, 4 separate transmit DMA queues, flow control
and jumbo frames up to 16K in size.
The VT6122 has a 16K receive FIFO and 48K transmit FIFO.
The Velocity family controllers have a 16K receive FIFO and 48K transmit FIFO.

tagging features, as well as the jumbo frame and CAM filter support.
The CAM filter is used for multicast address filtering to provide
64 perfect multicast address filter support.
