This is a complete removal of the entire GigE MAC from OpenCores.  The 
MDIO (actually from the OpenCores 10/100 core) remains, but that's it.

While I was at it, I rewrote all the FIFOs, the buffer pool interface, 
and a few other things in there as well.  From the user's point of view, 
everything should function exactly the same and you shouldn't be able to 
tell the difference. If there is any different behavior please let me know.
