Split SONIC chip into appropriate files for libchip'ing. The portable
portion is now in the libchip tree and the dmv177 configuration is in the dmv177 bsp. The performance impact of libchip'ing this driver was minimal.

+This is the network interface controller portion of the libchip library.
+This directory contains the source code for reusable TCP/IP network driver
+support code. Each driver has its own configuration table and its
+chip specific attach routine must be called by a board specific
+attach routine. The board specific chip routine passes the chip
+configuration and network configuration to the resuable device driver.
+
+The reusable chip drivers do not directly access the controller.
+They access the registers on the controller via a set of
+functions which are provided by the BSP. These functions set and get
+general registers and data buffers.
