virtualization work done by Marko Zec (zec@).
This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.
Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.
We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed
so we do not invalidate a lot of outstanding patches again.

structures. Detect when ifnet instances are detached from the network
stack and perform appropriate cleanup to prevent memory leaks.
This has been implemented in such a way as to be backwards ABI compatible.
Kernel consumers are changed to use if_delmulti_ifma(); in_delmulti()
is unable to detect interface removal by design, as it performs searches
on structures which are removed with the interface.
With this architectural change, the panics FreeBSD users have experienced
with carp and pfsync should be resolved.

Many people were confused with not working CARP, ng_bridge(4)

MAC address.
rather than in ifindex_table[]; all (except one) accesses are
through ifp anyway. IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except
one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.
- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom",
and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted
to use IF_LLADDR() instead.
- move the function pointer definitions to if_bridgevar.h
- move most of the logic to the new BRIDGE_INPUT and BRIDGE_OUTPUT macros
- remove unneeded functions from if_bridgevar.h and sort a little.

The same problem applies to if_bridge(4), too.
- Copy-and-paste the if_bridge(4) related block from
if_ethersubr.c to ng_ether.c
- Add XXXs, so that copy-and-paste would be noticed by
any future editors of this code.
- Also add XXXs near if_bridge(4) declarations.

ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.

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.

there so there are no ABI changes);
+ replace 5 redefinitions of the IPF2AC macro with one in if_arp.h
Eventually (but before freezing the ABI) we need to get rid of
struct arpcom (initially with the help of some smart #defines
to avoid having to touch each and every driver, see below).
Apart from the struct ifnet, struct arpcom now only stores a copy
of the MAC address (ac_enaddr, but we already have another copy in
the struct ifnet -- if_addrhead), and a netgraph-specific field
which is _always_ accessed through the ifp, so it might well go
into the struct ifnet too (where, besides, there is already an entry
for AF_NETGRAPH data...)
Too bad ac_enaddr is widely referenced by all drivers. But
this can be fixed as follows:
#define ac_enaddr ac_if.the_original_ac_enaddr_in_struct_ifnet
(note that the right hand side would likely be a pointer rather than
the base address of an array.)
layering violation. As pointed out, there is much better way to do this.

a particular Ethernet interface will actually be delivered by (only) that

To word around this, while a ng_ether(4)'s "upper" hook is connected,
