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.

attached and ifconfigable. The card doesn't interrupt yet.
Also, move towards bus space by introducing new macros/inline
functions which make such a move much easier than before.
These inline functions are setup now to work around an IBM EtherJet
pccard cardbus bridge incompatibility. The card works in 8 bit mode,
but not in 16-bit mode when it is connected to a cardbus bridge for
reasons unknown. The Linux driver also has a similar workaround in
it.
Future work will include making the above workaround runtime
conditional rather than compile time conditional, as well as fixing
the interrupts in pccards and converting it to bus space.
parts: isa and pccard. The isa one is known to work with an IBM
EtherJet ISA card. The pccard one isn't known to work because the
EtherJet pccard I purchased recently arrived DOA :-(. I'll commit the
pccard.conf entry when the replacement card arrives.
I plan on MFC this in a week or two.
