Move to using the environment variables 'ethaddr', 'eth1addr', etc..
instead of bd->bi_enetaddr, bi_enet1addr, etc.
This makes the code a bit more flexible to the number of ethernet
interfaces.  Right now we assume a max of 10 interfaces.
How does this match with our very static way of selecting this using
'CONFIG_HAS_ETH<n>' #defines?  There is no such thing as
CONFIG_HAS_ETH8 anywhere in the code...
oops, forgot about that.  I think we just have the code exist always  
(for CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT)
