The DM9000 was hard-coded to only support one DM9000 device. This patch adds a new initialization function - dm9000_initialize_ex() - to support registering multiple (and possibly dynamic) numbers of dm9000 devices. This patch consists of:

• Change the board_info struct to a private struct under eth_device.
• Add io address/data address/srom availability information to this private struct.
• Replace all uses of DM9000_IO/DM9000_DATA with new members, ensure that the eth_device struct propagates down to all helper functions.
• Make dm9000_initialize() call dm9000_initialize_ex() with filled in information from the old preprocessor symbols (DM9000_IO, DM9000_DATA, etc.)

So, on new platforms we call dm9000_initialize with the right IO/DATA locations for the given device, yes? I think I'd rather update everyone else to call things the right and new way, rather than work-around supporting both.
