I made an another patch not to break the backward compatibility of
siba(4).

This version is tested just on MIPS cross-compilation due to lack of H/W
but I expect that the patch doesn't touch any original siba(4) logics.

By design reasons I made a siba_bwn bridge module whose parent device is
PCI that placed at sys/modules/siba_bwn/Makefile.

I believe that with this patch I solved a objection until now so If no
more objections by end of this week, I'll commit it into HEAD.
