b1dd8b93a3 NPE cleanups needed for ancillary drivers (e.g. crypto acceleration):
o check feature bits when probing NPE ethernet support
o move firmware loading logic from if_npe to core npe support
o allow multiple refs to core NPE driver
o while here fix hw.npe.debug tunable path

9c1fcf4ecd Merge WIP from p4:
o recognize ixp435 cpu
o change memory layout for for ixp4xx to not assume memory is aliases
  to 0x10000000 (Cambria/ixp435 memory starts at zero)
o handle 64 irqs for ixp435
o dual EHCI USB 2.0 controller integral to ixp435
o overhaul NPE code for ixp435 and better MAC+MII naming
o updated NPE firmware (including NPE-A image for ixp435/ixp465)
o Gateworks Cambria board support:
  - IDE compact flash
  - MCU
  - front panel LED on i2c bus
  - Octal LED latch

Sanity-tested with NFS-root on Avila and Cambria boards.  Requires
pending boot2 mods for CF-boot on Cambria.

63a24fc32d Ok I hope I got it right this time.
After discussion with Sam, switch back to use firmware(9) instead of
having the firmware in hex format.
Put the binary firmware uuencoded into sys/contrib/dev/npe, and slap a
LICENSE file, as found on the Intel website.

a4964f6cfa Now that Intel changed the license for the NPE firmware, import it directly
hexed into our tree, instead of requiring the user to download it.

fb9dbcd056 Search for a proper ucode image to use by incrementing the minor
release number up to the max.  This should eliminate the need to
tweak the default imageid define for later releases that are found
on the Intel web site.

ea8c3a2c48 Gateworks Avila board support:
o ixp425 support
o NPE network driver (requires Intel microcode)
o h/w qmgr support
o True IDE compact flash over expansion bus
o pci (ath and hifn795x parts tested)
o xscale watchdog timer
o ds1672 RTC on i2c bus
o ad7418 voltage + temp monitoring on i2c bus
o uart

Work done together with cognet, kevlo, and jmg.  Parts of
the ixp425 support obtaine/derived from netbsd.
