The new layout almost precisely matches FreeBSD, and should make
future imports much easier.
At the same time, import the current 0.9.16.16 HAL from FreeBSD. According
to sam@, this is the proper version we should be using.

I've modified the USB "ural" driver for recent changes to the NetBSD
ieee80211 framework, possibly not completely, but with an ASUS wireless
adapter I'm getting some signs of life.
Didn't care about pci/cardbus for now, hopefully someone with hardware
will do it.
frontend for the split re(4) to files.cardbus, and to the generic x86
laptop config (sys/i386/conf/GENERIC_LAPTOP).
NB: as best I know, there are still unresolved issues in attach and
powersave, with the NetGear cardbus cards and re(4).
debug flags.
From Linux: handle an RTL8180 bug. Sometimes the NIC skips from
the middle of the ring to the 0th rx descriptor. Now the driver
resynchronizes.
Handle a receive descriptor underrun or Rx FIFO overflow condition
in the way that the Linux driver does. This kind of seems like
overkill, but whatever.
Protect rtw_ioctl with splnet().
Do not load a tx descriptor with a buffer shorter than 4 bytes.
Handle a transmit timeout less disruptively.
bus-independent backend, with PCI and CardBus attachment code.
The committed code has two serious bugs:
1. The driver makes no attempt to recover resources when a (Cardbus)
instance is removed; bus resources are leaked.
2. In testing with a NetGear GA-511, the Cardbus card never responded
to a reset/wakeup if the card is powered down after attachment.
So for now, leave cardbus instances powered up at attachment
(insertion, or at boot if a card is already present).
That aside, it acutally works on my GA-511. Committed as-is despite
the bugs, after repeated requests to make the code available for
further testing. Also requires sys/dev/mii/miidevs rev 1.54 -> 1.55,
and consequent regen of miidevs{,_data}.h.
