(1) bpf peer attaches to interface netif0
(2) Packet is received by netif0
(3) ifp->if_bpf pointer is checked and handed off to bpf
(4) bpf peer detaches from netif0 resulting in ifp->if_bpf being
initialized to NULL.
(5) ifp->if_bpf is dereferenced by bpf machinery

This race condition likely explains the various different kernel panics
reported around sending SIGINT to tcpdump or dhclient processes. But really
this race can result in kernel panics anywhere you have frequent bpf attach
and detach operations with high packet per second load.
Summary of changes:
- Remove the bpf interface's "driverp" member
- When we attach bpf interfaces, we now set the ifp->if_bpf member to the
bpf interface structure. Once this is done, ifp->if_bpf should never be
NULL. [1]
- Introduce bpf_peers_present function, an inline operation which will do
a lockless read bpf peer list associated with the interface. It should
be noted that the bpf code will pickup the bpf_interface lock before adding
or removing bpf peers. This should serialize the access to the bpf descriptor
list, removing the race.
- Expose the bpf_if structure in bpf.h so that the bpf_peers_present function
can use it. This also removes the struct bpf_if; hack that was there.
- Adjust all consumers of the raw if_bpf structure to use bpf_peers_present
Now what happens is:
(1) Packet is received by netif0
(2) Check to see if bpf descriptor list is empty
(3) Pickup the bpf interface lock
(4) Hand packet off to process
From the attach/detach side:
(1) Pickup the bpf interface lock
(2) Add/remove from bpf descriptor list
Now that we are storing the bpf interface structure with the ifnet, there is
is no need to walk the bpf interface list to locate the correct bpf interface.
We now simply look up the interface, and initialize the pointer. This has a
nice side effect of changing a bpf interface attach operation from O(N) (where
N is the number of bpf interfaces), to O(1).
[1] From now on, we can no longer check ifp->if_bpf to tell us whether or
not we have any bpf peers that might be interested in receiving packets.

cloner. This ensures that ifc->ifc_units is not prematurely freed in
if_clone_detach() before the clones are destroyed, resulting in memory modified
after free. This could be triggered with if_vlan.
Assert that all cloners have been destroyed when freeing the memory.
Change all simple cloners to destroy their clones with ifc_simple_destroy() on

the interface destroy routines and allows future optimisation.

- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.

1) Consistently use type u_int32_t for the header of a
DLT_NULL device - it continues to represent the address
family as always.
2) In the DLT_NULL case get bpf_movein to store the u_int32_t
in a sockaddr rather than in the mbuf, to be consistent
with all the DLT types.
3) Consequently fix a bug in bpf_movein/bpfwrite which
only permitted packets up to 4 bytes less than the MTU
to be written.
4) Fix all DLT_NULL devices to have the code required to
allow writing to their bpf devices.
5) Move the code to allow writing to if_lo from if_simloop
to looutput, because it only applies to DLT_NULL devices
but was being applied to other devices that use if_simloop
possibly incorrectly.

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.

- Split the code out into if_clone.[ch].
- Locked struct if_clone. [1]
- Add a per-cloner match function rather then simply matching names of

- Use the match function to allow creation of <interface>.<tag>

- Also the match function to allow creation of stf(4) interfaces named
stf0, stf, or 6to4. This is the only major user visible change in
that "ifconfig stf" creates the interface stf rather then stf0 and
does not print "stf0" to stdout.
- Allow destroy functions to fail so they can refuse to delete
interfaces. Currently, we forbid the deletion of interfaces which
were created in the init function, particularly lo0, pflog0, and
pfsync0. In the case of lo0 this was a panic implementation so it
does not count as a user visiable change. :-)
- Since most interfaces do not need the new functionality, an family of
wrapper functions, ifc_simple_*(), were created to wrap old style
cloner functions.
- The IF_CLONE_INITIALIZER macro is replaced with a new incompatible
IFC_CLONE_INITIALIZER and ifc_simple consumers use IFC_SIMPLE_DECLARE
instead.
