FCP-0101: Deprecating most 10/100 Ethernet drivers

[Cy Schubert]

I have rl, fxp, xl, dc, bge (which I have an uncommitted patch for), nfe, and sk. Not all are scheduled for removal but this is my inventory for which I can test and am willing to help out with. Add iwn and ath too.

I can probably do this for bfe and fxp, since I have both.
Can someone suggest a good example driver that has already been converted,
so I can see what needs to be done?

Again, I don't care if they stay in the current/head tree.
