revival of NetBSD/sandpoint

NetBSD/sandpoint has revived.  It's up and running on AmPro
EnCorePP1 board in mult-user mode.  It was found that the source
of whole issue was i8259 interrupt handling.  Tim Rightnour made
a fix around there and brought refreshing improvement for this port.
Without the fix the initial inquery of /bin/sh path can not take any
console input.

This port needs more work to iron out some stability issue during
heavy load, however, overall efforts should be done easier since
standard working NetBSD environment is now available for deep
kernel debugging.

Due to the very low profile of HW popularity the significance of
this port is limited.  During this development efforts, we made
LIBSA ELF bootloader by NFS.  It's known useful combined with
Moto DINK32 and PPCboot (popular U-Boot predecessor) to
make possible a solid and comfortable development cycle.  The
byproduct should be a good vihecle to bring up any NetBSD
porting.  It can become a self-standing complete bootloader
when IDE block device driver is added.

This revival was made possible by innovative work by Micrel Lorenz
and Tim Rightnour.  The "extensible PIC framework," which is
found in powerpc/pic/ directory, is so versatile and has very large
significance.  Using this framework powerpc can be easily
adapted for new interrupt controller schemes.  Examples out of my
head are;
- Freescale MPC8349/8315 family
the interrupt controller, now called IPIC, has a different design from
original OpenPIC standard.
- Tundra Semiconductor Tsi109/110 
descendents of Moto MPC107/108 system controller and have
OpenPIC-like extended interrupt design.

powerpc/pic totally eliminated agonizing extintr.c adaption.  All to do
is to make and add new pic_xxx.c in powerpc/pic/ directory.

The following is a complete boot sequence from EnCorePP1 PPCboot
cmd line;
