- Added a generic bhnd_nvram_parser API, with support for the TLV format
used on WGT634U devices, the standard BCM NVRAM format used on most
modern devices, and the "board text file" format used on some hardware
to supply external NVRAM data at runtime (e.g. via an EFI variable).
- Extended the bhnd_bus_if and bhnd_nvram_if interfaces to support both
string-based and primitive data type variable access, required for
common behavior across both SPROM and NVRAM data sources.
- Extended the existing SPROM implementation to support the new
string-based NVRAM APIs.
- Added an abstract bhnd_nvram driver, implementing the bhnd_nvram_if
atop the bhnd_nvram_parser API.
- Added a CFE-based bhnd_nvram driver to provide read-only access to
NVRAM data on MIPS SoCs, pending implementation of a flash-aware
bhnd_nvram driver.

The delta between SENTRY5 and BCM was already small due to BCM being
derived from SENTRY5; re-integrating the two avoids the maintenance
overhead of keeping them both in sync with bhnd(4) changes.
- Re-integrate minor SENTRY5 deltas in bcm_machdep.c
- Modify uart_cpu_chipc to allow specifying UART debug/console flags via
kenv and device hints.
- Switch SENTRY5 to std.broadcom
- Enabled CFI flash support for SENTRY5

Now that bhnd(4) provides feature parity with the previous siba/mips
implementation, we can switch sentry5 over and begin lifting common
support code out for use across bhnd(4) embedded targets.
Changes:
- Fixed enumeration of siba(4) per-core address maps, required for
discovery of memory mapped chipc flash region on siba(4) devices.
- Simplified bhnd kernel configuration (dropped 'bhndbus' option).
- Replaced files.broadcom's direct file references with their
corresponding standard kernel options.
- Lifted out common bcma/siba nexus support, inheriting from the new
generic bhnd_nexus driver.
- Dropped now-unused sentry5 siba code.
- Re-integrated BCM into the universe build now that it actually compiles.

Relies on BHND(4) driver.
There files contains machine-dependent code for Broadcom MIPS processor and
provide UART driver.
This is a work in progress; it and the current bhnd code is enough to boot
on the ASUS RT-N16 and RT-N53 platforms.
