This commit adds driver support for the Silicon Integrated Systems
SiS 900 and SiS 7016 PCI fast ethernet chipsets. Full manuals for the SiS chips can be found at www.sis.com.tw. This is a fairly simple chipset. The receiver uses a 128-bit multicast hash table and single perfect entry for the station address. Transmit and receive DMA and FIFO thresholds are easily tuneable. Documentation is pretty decent and performance is not bad, even on my crufty 486. This driver uses newbus and miibus and is supported on both the i386 and alpha architectures.
