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.

Version 3.5 brings:
- Atomic commits of ruleset changes (reduce the chance of ending up in an
inconsistent state).
- A 30% reduction in the size of state table entries.
- Source-tracking (limit number of clients and states per client).
- Sticky-address (the flexibility of round-robin with the benefits of
source-hash).
- Significant improvements to interface handling.
- and many more ...
Also set HOOK_HACK to true (remove the related #ifdef's) as we have the
hooks in the kernel this was missed during the merge from the port.

for a long time and is run in production use. This is the code present in
portversion 2.03 with some additional tweaks.
The rather extensive diff accounts for:
- locking (to enable pf to work with a giant-free netstack)
- byte order difference between OpenBSD and FreeBSD for ip_len/ip_off
- conversion from pool(9) to zone(9)
- api differences etc.
