- Enable static building of mxge(4) and its firmware.
- Add custom .c wrappers for the firmware, rather than the standard firmware(9) generated firmware objects to work around toolchain problems on ia64 involving linking objects produced by ld -b -binary into the kernel.
- Move from using Myricom's ".dat" firmware blobs to using Myricom's zlib compressed ".h" firmware header files. This is done to facilitate the custom wrappers, and saves a fair amount of wired memory in the case where the firmware is built in, or preloaded.
- Fix two compile issues in mxge which only appear on non-i386/amd64.

10GbE mode driver and binary firmware for Myricom's PCI-express NICs. More info regarding these nics can be found at http://www.myri.com.
Please note that the files sys/dev/myri10ge/{mcp_gen_header.h,myri10ge_mcp.h} are internally shared between all our drivers (solaris, macosx, windows, linux, etc). I'd like to keep these files unchanged, so I can just import newer versions of them when the firmware API/ABI changes. This means I'm stuck with some of the crazy-long #define names, and possibly non-style(9) characteristics of these files.
Many thanks to mlaier for doing firmware(9) just as I needed it, and to scottl for his helpful review.
