This driver can no longer be built since support for IBM Cell Blades was

Remove the driver and the documentation.
Remove the MAINTAINERS entry, and add Ishizaki and Geoff to CREDITS.

This means we can also move drivers/net/sungem_phy.c back
into drivers/net/ethernet/sun/ since it is no longer shared
infrastructure.

This was an early bit of MII/PHY library code that along the
same lines as what turned into drivers/net/phy/, but remains
incompatible with it. Moving it into the sungem driver keeps
it out of view of other drivers.
