mii_softc (generic phy goo), and just switch all of the PHY drivers
(except tlphy, which really does have special stuff) to use an mii_softc
instead of a private one.
current ifmedia_entry, not from the user-supplied media word. The
user supplied media word may not necessarily match e.g. instance (if
the parent MAC driver is intentionally ignoring instance if its expecting
multiple PHYs with non-overlapping media, e.g. TI ThunderLAN) the media
word we are actually switching to.
Since PHY drivers use `instance' to determine if they should isolate
themselves, the ThunderLAN PHY was sometimes being incorrectly isolated
when in fact the user attempted to select that PHY (for e.g. BNC operation).
that we may have (TLPHY_MEDIA_10_x | TLPHY_MEDIA_NO_10_T).
- add carrier detect for AUI/BNC.
This now works properly with a "Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX" and a
"Compaq ProLiant Integrated Netelligent 10/100 TX", untested with others
(but should work as well).

by autonegotiation by reading PHY-specific registers.
XXX There is still some work to do wrt. autonegotiation and the
BNC/AUI support in the ThunderLAN PHY.

This includes drivers for the Thunderland integrated PHY, and
National Semiconductor's DP83840A.
Note: The interface betweeen network controller and mii is not complete yet,
and will need some minors tweaks to support media auto-selection.
