IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

Also, add a /* bad! */ comment to a 1/2 second delay after we set the

Fortunately it is the only one and is only used when setting media, so
the benefit from removing it is small. Unfortunately, it likely
serves as an exemplar of good programming techniques, which it isn't.

o Replace an unconditional 30ms DELAY (yes, busy wait) with a check of the
SIBUSY bit in the SelfST register before accessing the eeprom. This changes
the time to read the EEPROM from 2 * 20 * 30ms (1.2s) to < 20*25us (.0005s)
and make the attach of the card tolerable when ethernet media is present.
Include data from the datasheet about why this works. While this is a 2500x
speed increase, it doesn't really matter at all once the card is probed...

10BaseT' since it required 10BaseT to have carrier to switch to it.
This chip makes it hard to do proper auto, so we don't do it. We
can't test carrier on things easily.
Don't insist on carrier when we set the media. Don't report failures.
Remove a 1s! delay that appears to not be needed.
With these patches, and John Baldwin's patches, I'm able to pass
packets on my IBM EtherJet card again.
o When forced to be 10baseT, don't require that the 10baseT interface
have link to succeed. Still require it for IFM_AUTO, however, since it
appears that there's no way to tell if a specific type of interface
worked. I'm doing a web search for a datasheet now to see if there's
anything obvious.
o Minor incidental formatting nits, including collapsing code of the form
if (foo) {
bar();
} else {
if (baz)
bing();
}
into:
if (foo) {

} else if (baz) {

handler depended on the ifp being still alive, this could, in theory,
cause a crash. Eliminate this possibility by moving the if_free to
after the bus_teardown_intr() call.
IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
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.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;

Provide a backwards compatible way to have the extra macro by defining

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.

EtherJet, the interrupt is selected in the eeprom based on the layout
of the PC Card board. Since this is encoded into the EEPROM, and has
no relationship to the IRQ that the pccard bridge routes the PC Card's
interrupt pin to.
As such, stop writing to that register. This gets my EtherJet working.

if the link-level address has been initialized already.
The majority of modern drivers never does this and works fine, which
makes me think that the check is totally unnecessary and a residue
of cut&paste from other drivers.
This change is done to simplify locking because now almost none of the
drivers uses this field. The exceptions are "ct" "ctau" and "cx"
where i am not sure if i can remove that part.
