- Import the common MII bitbang'ing code from NetBSD and convert drivers to
take advantage of it instead of duplicating it. This reduces the size of
the i386 GENERIC kernel by about 8k. The only potential in-tree users left
unconverted are ed(4) and xe(4). Xe(4) generally should be changed to use
miibus(4) instead of implementing PHY handling on its own, as otherwise it
makes not much sense to add a dependency on miibus(4)/mii_bitbang(4) to it
just for the MII bitbang'ing code. Ed(4) has some chip specific things
interwinded with the MII bitbang'ing code and it's unclear whether it can
be converted to common code, at least not without thorough testing of all
the various chips supported by ed(4).
The common MII bitbang'ing code also is useful in the embedded space for
using GPIO pins to implement MII access.
- Based on lessons learnt with dc(4) (see r185750), add bus barriers to the
MII bitbang read and write functions of the other drivers converted in
order to ensure the intended ordering. Given that register access via an
index register as well as register bank/window switching is subject to the
same problem, also add bus barriers to the respective functions of smc(4),
tl(4) and xl(4).
- Sprinkle some const.

Thanks to the following testers:
Andrew Bliznak (nge(4)), nwhitehorn@ (bm(4)), yongari@ (sis(4) and ste(4))
Thanks to Hans-Joerg Sirtl for supplying hardware to test stge(4).
