>Description:
	New mailing list freebsd-drivers created; this PR updates docs
	accordingly (I think).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Note discrepancy between mailing lists shown at
	(e.g.)<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL>;
	vs. those shown at <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo>.
