struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

doing int in s/w)
o while here fix defrag to strip the header from 2nd and later frames
o teach decap code how to handle 4-address frames
or a bssid+ssid. This is needed for later versions of wpa_supplicant
and for forthcoming addons to wpa_supplicant.
Note this is an api change and applications must be rebuilt.
o don't pre-assign key index to the global key table entries so device
has a chance to decide what to use
o make ieee80211_crypto_newkey take the desired flags as an argument
instead of wacking the key structure directly; this eliminates a
bunch of code warts
o add a new flag IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP to indicate a key is a WPA Group
key so devices don't need to guess (temporarily add this flag in the
ioctl code until we can get wpa_supplicant+hostapd updated)
o shuffle IEEE80211_KEY_* bits to move flags used internally to the high
nibble of the flags word

panic with the NDISulator if you did "ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1/24,"
whereas "ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1/24 up" worked fine. The double fault
was caused by the ifconfig thread running out of kernel stack space.
(This was partly due to the NDIsulator using a couple of big buffers on
the stack, but even after fixing that the double fault persisted.)
It turns out that ndis_init() is called in both cases, but in the first
case the code path passes through ieee80211_ioctl(), and it turns out
ieee80211_ioctl() consumes a whopping 2400 bytes of stack space.
Apparently, gcc -O2 causes the ieee80211_ioctl_get80211() routine to
be inlined into ieee80211_ioctl(), and for some reason which I do not
fully understand, this causes ieee80211_ioctl() to consume an extra 2K
of stack space.
To prevent this overly agressive optimization, ieee80211_ioctl_get80211()
is now declared with __attribute__ ((noinline)). With this change,
ieee80211_ioctl() now only reserves about 200 bytes of stack instead of 2400.

with a suitable table entry.

Hold a lock on the table instead of futzing with reference counts which
was potentially dangerous except drivers were quiescent while we did this
so the table contents never changed. Disable the hack logic for removing
scan candidates with multiple association failures; it's never done the
right thing and will be fixed correctly with background scanning goes in.
not we're going to process the frame; this makes the counters reflect frames
actually processes instead of received (discarded frames were already counted)
o ic_inact_auth is a bad name, it's the inactivity threshold
for being associated but not authorized; use it that way
o reset ni_inact when switching inactivity thresholds to
minimize the race against the timer (don't want to lock
for this stuff)
o change the inactivity probe threshold from a one-shot to
cover a range: when below this threshold but not expired
send a probe each inactivity interval; should probably
guard against the interval being turned way down as this
could cause us to spam the net with probes
we're at it:
o WPA/802.11i has a unicast key and a group key; in station mode
everything is sent with the unicast key--we were consulting the
destination mac address and incorrectly using the group key
o (perpetuate fallback use of the default tx key to maintain
compatibility with the way wpa_supplicant works)
o correct EAPOL encryption logic to check unicast key instead
of assuming other state implies this
o move QoS encapsulation up to before enmic work so TKIP has the
information required to calculate the pseudo-header
o do not do QoS-encapsulation of EAPOL frames as some ap's do the
wrong thing with such frames (may need to revisit this if ap's
start dropping non-QoS frames from stations assoc'd with QoS)
o move ieee80211_mbuf_adjust closer to its caller

device drivers to declare that the ifp->if_start() method implemented
by the driver requires Giant in order to operate correctly.
Add a 'struct task' to 'struct ifnet' that can be used to execute a
deferred ifp->if_start() in the event that if_start needs to be called
in a Giant-free environment. To do this, introduce if_start(), a
wrapper function for ifp->if_start(). If the interface can run MPSAFE,
it directly dispatches into the interface start routine. If it can't
run MPSAFE, we're running with debug.mpsafenet != 0, and Giant isn't
currently held, the task is queued to execute in a swi holding Giant
via if_start_deferred().
Modify if_handoff() to use if_start() instead of direct dispatch.
Modify 802.11 to use if_start() instead of direct dispatch.
This is intended to provide increased compatibility for non-MPSAFE
network device drivers in the presence of Giant-free operation via
asynchronous dispatch. However, this commit does not mark any network
interfaces as IFF_NEEDSGIANT.
