[mc1322x] compiling webserver-ipv6 in contiki/examples folder

[Chol Su Kang]

For those who are interested in having builds for Freescale Network
Controller board, I created a patch to support the board,
freescale-ncb. Please see attached.
The patch contains the changes off WIP-2.4, but be aware that I am
still learning how to use 'git' commands.

I have compiled this change in contiki-mc1322x/cpu/mc1322x/tests using
 $ make BOARD=freescale-ncb
and tested blink bin files, printf bin file, and rftest-tx bin file.
In order to download bin files, I used 'Test Tool' in Freescale 1322x
DSK-DBG CD.
I have not figured out how to use mc1322x-load.pl to load freescale board yet.

I also got clean build in contiki-mc1322x/examples/webserver-ipv6.
But the size of .elf and .bin are hugh.

Regards,
Charles Kang
