b47888ceba Add the trunk(4) driver for providing link aggregation, failover and fault
tolerance.  This driver allows aggregation of multiple network interfaces as
one virtual interface using a number of different protocols/algorithms.

failover    - Sends traffic through the secondary port if the master becomes
              inactive.
fec         - Supports Cisco Fast EtherChannel.
lacp        - Supports the IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol
              (LACP) and the Marker Protocol.
loadbalance - Static loadbalancing using an outgoing hash.
roundrobin  - Distributes outgoing traffic using a round-robin scheduler
              through all active ports.

This code was obtained from OpenBSD and this also includes 802.3ad LACP support
from agr(4) in NetBSD.
