My patch set

for support at91sam9263 does that, there are arm7 hal,
and arm9 hal, at91sam9 uses arm9 hal.

I suppose it would be easy to use existing ethernet driver
for at91sam7x with at91sam9, just chnage base address, 
interrupt number, and if you use cpu data cache, do not forget
sync it after PDC transactions.
