if_start routines cannot currently be entered without Giant. When
the kernel is running with debug.mpsafenet != 0, this will defer
if_start execution to a task queue thread holding Giant, which may
introduce additional latency, but avoid incorrect execution.

in all USB ethernet drivers. The qdat structure contains a pointer
to the interface's struct ifnet and is used to process incoming
packets, so simultaneous use of two similar devices caused crashes
and confusion.
The if_udav driver appeared in the tree since Daan's PR, so I made
similar changes to that driver too.

multicast hash are written. There are still two distinct algorithms used,
and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

Use usbd_device2interface_handle() to retrieve the interface handle.
NOTE: uaa->iface is populated in the probe routine, so I suspect the
fact that it's NULL in the attach routine is a bug in the ehci driver.
Also, don't depend on the PHY addresses returned by the AXE_CMD_READ_PHYID
command. The address is correct for my LinkSys NIC, but a user has
reported that with a D-Link NIC, the PHYID command returns address 4
while the attached Broadcom PHY is in fact strapped for address 0.
Instead, latch onto the first PHY address that returns valid data
during a readreg operation.

USB200M adapter. I know for a fact that there are other devices out
there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.
Note: I'm not sure if this will force the driver to end up in the
install kernel image or not. Special magic needs to be done to exclude
it to keep the boot floppies from bloating again, someone please
advise.
