This means we can also move drivers/net/sungem_phy.c back
into drivers/net/ethernet/sun/ since it is no longer shared
infrastructure.

This was an early bit of MII/PHY library code that along the
same lines as what turned into drivers/net/phy/, but remains
incompatible with it. Moving it into the sungem driver keeps
it out of view of other drivers.
