- s/gigabit/Gigabit/

- Talk about supported chips rather than supported cards as the majority
  of the hardware supported by gem(4) is on-board.
- "the .Nm driver"
- Sort the list of supported chips alphabetically.
- Sun GEM aren't used on-board though, so don't claim they'd be.
- Add a CAVEATS section informing that Sun GEM cards aren't supported
  so far.

Currently the

driver fails to attach to Sun Gigabit Ethernet 2.0/3.0 (GBE/P) cards,
as the SERDES used on these cards is not supported so far.
The
.Nm
driver will also fail to probe and attach to Sun Gigabit Ethernet 2.0/3.0 (GBE/S) cards,
as no SBus front-end has been written so far.
