if_start routines cannot currently be entered without Giant. When
the kernel is running with debug.mpsafenet != 0, this will defer
if_start execution to a task queue thread holding Giant, which may
introduce additional latency, but avoid incorrect execution.

in all USB ethernet drivers. The qdat structure contains a pointer
to the interface's struct ifnet and is used to process incoming
packets, so simultaneous use of two similar devices caused crashes
and confusion.
The if_udav driver appeared in the tree since Daan's PR, so I made
similar changes to that driver too.

multicast hash are written. There are still two distinct algorithms used,
and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

Break out some common functionality.
most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

Actually this porting supports Pegasus II chip so I guess some other
devices supported by NetBSD also work. But the devices list are not
included because I cannot confirm if they work.
