o define HAL_SOFTC, HAL_BUS_TAG, and HAL_BUS_HANDLE to be machine
independent; this fixes portability issues with bsd systems
o add ah_disable api for turning off operation of both MAC and PHY
o add ah_getAntennaSwitch and ah_setAntennaSwitch api's for better control
of antenna usage and diversity
o add ah_setAckCTSRate and ah_setAckCTSRate for controlling tx rate of
h/w generated frames
o add ah_setBeaconTimers api for simpler setting of the beacon timer registers
o remove ah_waitForBeaconDone api
o add HAL_TXDESC_DURENA flag to enable h/w duration setting in tx descriptor
o correct documentation of min/max tx power units (.5 dBm)
o switch arm, mips, and powerpc builds to use functions for register
read/write operations
o fix sparc builds to not reference %g2 and %g3 registers
o add public builds for SoC's
MFC after: 1 month

(alpha is untested, others are known to work)
o many fixes and improvements

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.
copy of Ethernet address.
- Change iso88025_ifattach() and fddi_ifattach() to accept MAC
address as an argument, similar to ether_ifattach(), to make
this work.
- Fix a typo in rsmisc.c and a style change for consistency.
This patch will also appear in future ACPI-CA release.

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;
some less so.

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.
