>Description:
	This patch fixes 3 problems:

	A. dcphy inadvertently accepts 100BASE-T4 technology
	When a link partner announces 100BASE-T4 capability,
	dcphy will accept and choose this technology, even though
	it is not supported and we don't announce it ourselves.
	dcphy should mask the link partner's announcement
	with our own capabilities, so we only accept the highest
	technology we commonly share.

	This bug is triggered when connecting SYM-based 21143 boards
	to a Cisco 3550 switch, which inadvertently announces 100BASE-T4
	capability even though it doesn't do 100BASE-T4.
	Symptom is dat the 21143 eventually switches to 100BASE-TX
	while the 3550 switch switches to 100BASE-TX,FDX, or the link
	may not come up at all.

	Files affected: 
	dev/mii/dcphy.c


	B. Autonegotiation selection order is wrong
	Autonegotiation selection is based on selecting
	the highest common technology both link partners will accept.
	For this to work, IEEE 802.3 defines a priority order
	in which the technologies are selected.
	As of IEEE 802.3-2002, annex 28B.3, the list is, from high to low:
		1000BASE-T full-duplex
		1000BASE-T 
		100BASE-T2 full-duplex
		100BASE-TX full-duplex
		100BASE-T2 
		100BASE-T4 
		100BASE-TX 
		10BASE-T full-duplex
		10BASE-T 

	However, the PHY code that reads the link partner capability
	registers and decides on the highest common technology,
	didn't use this order: the priority of 100BASE-T4 was too high
	(which helped to trigger bug A above).

	While I think that it is unlikely that we will encounter
	100BASE-T4 technology in the field in the future, 
	having a wrong order may lead to more bugs and incompatibilities
	so the testing order was changed to match the IEEE spec.

	Files affected:
	dev/mii/amphy.c
	dev/mii/dcphy.c
	dev/mii/nsphy.c
	dev/mii/rlphy.c
	dev/mii/tdkphy.c
	dev/mii/ukphy_subr.c
	dev/txp/if_txp.c


	C. if_txp: mask link partner's capability mask against
	   own capabilities
	From code inspection, it looks like we don't mask 
	the capabilities of the link partner against our own,
	which means that a technology may be selected that we
	don't support.

	The fix is roughly similar to B. above, but I didn't have
	a 3C990 to test with and hence this patch is untested.
