Unbreak bwn-firmware-kmod on powerpc64, there are PCI controllers on powerpc64
boards.

net/*: Use NO_WRKSUBDIR

net/bw{i,n}-firmware-kmod: Allow build on powerpc

They are required for bwi(4) or bwn(4) to actually work.  The Airport
Extreme cards in {i,Power}Books are PCI devices.

Mark as not-for !x86.

These ports fail to build on at least powerpc64; plus, these aging PCI
and/or CardBus cards are unlikely to be of use on other tier-2 archs.

Approved by:	portmgr (tier-2 blanket)

For the ports under `net' category: remove superfluous linefeeds.

Fix whitespace issues (mixed tab/spaces, alignment) in a few ports.

[bwn] add missing initvals for rev11 LP PHY.

We needed both the initvals and the band-switch initvals for rev11.
This was required for one of my BCM LP NICs.

[bwn] Initial support for the v5 firmware

This is just to support the initial v5 firmware for one of the PHY-N
NICs I'm going to do some development.

It only pulls out the specific v5 mimo firmware for the BCM4312 NIC
I am playing with; I'm adding it so we at least have the framework
to pull things out of the v5 firmware.

The existing NICs still use v4 firmware and I don't plan on changing
that for some time as bwn(4) doesn't yet support the newer firmware API
and descriptor layouts.

Remove ${PORTSDIR}/ from dependencies, categories m, n, o, and p.

Remove trailing whitespace from Makefiles, M-X.

Avoid useless @cwd

Add USES=uidfix to avoid the NEED_ROOT macro
Properly set make env before installing so uidfix works

- Support stage
- Requires NEED_ROOT

Approved by:	portmgr (infrastructure blanket)

Convert to USES=kmod, which removes duplicated code and ensures that all
required steps are followed.

There are no user-visible changes.  The exception is multimedia/ptx-kmod,
which now installs the kernel module into /boot/modules instead of
${PREFIX}/libexec/${PORTNAME}, this was something USES=kmod cannot handle.

Add NO_STAGE all over the place in preparation for the staging support (cat:

- Get Rid MD5 support

Make it possible to automatically load the right bwn firmware from new
bwn driver.

Feature safe: yes

Port to extract the v4.x firmware for Broadcom airforce parts.
Necessary for the up-coming bwn driver.  Marked NO_PACKAGE because we
can't redistribute the modified firmware.
