I need to turn it into a patch first, of course.

I'm trying to figure out where to put the files. There are a lot of 
sparc64 (and i386) specific drivers in /sys/dev, but SoC peripherals 
tend to end up in an arch-specific location. For powermac hardware, we 
seem to have a mix (UART driver in /sys/dev, built-in ATA in powermac). 
Unless someone tells me otherwise, I will put the if_bm* stuff in powermac.
