This makes it more usable in that dhclient will autolaunch from devd
now when cdce devices are plugged in.. It also sets the baudrate, but
this isn't exported via tools, and CDCE doesn't have a good way to
specify the media type, so there isn't a good way to tell userland
what the speed is currently...

When detaching the if_ure(4) driver, the TX active USB transfer array may
point to freed USB transfers. Given that the number of USB transfers is
very low, simply start all transfers every time there is a packet to
keep safe from use-after-free.

This update adds support for:
HW VLAN tagging
HW checksum offload for IPv4 and IPv6
tx and rx aggreegation (for full gige speeds)
multiple transactions
In my testing, I am able to get 900-950Mbps depending upon
TCP or UDP, which is a significant improvement over the previous
91Mbps (~8kint/sec*1500bytes/packet*1packet/int).

r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked). Use it in
preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

Some places in network code may need to verify that an ethernet address
is not the 'zero' address. Provide a standard macro ETHER_IS_ZERO for
this purpose, similar to the ETHER_IS_BROADCAST macro already available.
This patch also removes previous ETHER_IS_ZERO definitions in several
USB ethernet drivers, in favor of this centrally-located macro.

When epoch(9) was introduced to network stack, it was basically
dropped in place of existing locking, which was mutexes and
rwlocks. For the sake of performance mutex covered areas were
as small as possible, so became epoch covered areas.
However, epoch doesn't introduce any contention, it just delays
memory reclaim. So, there is no point to minimise epoch covered
areas in sense of performance. Meanwhile entering/exiting epoch
also has non-zero CPU usage, so doing this less often is a win.
Not the least is also code maintainability. In the new paradigm
we can assume that at any stage of processing a packet, we are
inside network epoch. This makes coding both input and output
path way easier.
On output path we already enter epoch quite early - in the
ip_output(), in the ip6_output().
This patch does the same for the input path. All ISR processing,
network related callouts, other ways of packet injection to the
network stack shall be performed in net_epoch. Any leaf function
that walks network configuration now asserts epoch.
Tricky part is configuration code paths - ioctls, sysctls. They
also call into leaf functions, so some need to be changed.
This patch would introduce more epoch recursions (see EPOCH_TRACE)
than we had before. They will be cleaned up separately, as several
of them aren't trivial. Note, that unlike a lock recursion the
epoch recursion is safe and just wastes a bit of resources.

After r351243 when ALTQ was enabled in the kernel, the inline functions
in ifq.h would not have full type information as if_var.h was not
included.
Given usb_ethernet.h already includes all the various headers (which)
is the cause of the problem here, add if_var.h to it. This fixes the
builds again.

order to have struct mii_data available. However, it only really needs
a forward declaration of struct mii_data for use in pointer form for
the return type of a function prototype.
Custom kernel configuration that have usb and fdt enabled, but no miibus,
end up with compilation failures because miibus_if.h will not get
generated.
Due to the above, the following changes have been made to usb_ethernet.h:
* remove the inclusion of mii headers
* forward-declare struct mii_data
* include net/ifq.h to satify the need for complete struct ifqueue
