Add a pure open source nForce Ethernet driver, under BSDL.
This driver was ported from OpenBSD by Shigeaki Tagashira <shigeaki@se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp> and posted at http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html It was additionally cleaned up by me. It is still a work-in-progress and thus is purposefully not in GENERIC. And it conflicts with nve(4), so only one should be loaded.
