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.
