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.

- Make transmission of packets work again. This stopped working because
ether_ifattach() was forcing ifp->if_output to be ether_output() and
clobbering our attempt to override this vector with a pointer to
ng_fec_output(). Move the overriding of ifp->if_output to after
ether_ifattach().
- Abandon the use of the netgraph ng_ether_input_p hook for snagging
incoming frames, and instead override the ifp->if_input vector for
interfaces that have been aggregated into our bundle. (I would have
loved to have written things this way in the first place, but I
didn't want to have to be the one to implement the if_input hook
and change all the drivers.) This avoids collisions with the ng_ether
module, which uses the same hook. Each aggregated device now calls
ng_fec_input() directly, which then fakes up the rcvif pointer
before invoking ifp->if_input itself.
This module should actually work now.
changed since this code was written:
- The ng_ether_input_p hook only accepts two arguments now: the pointer
to the ether header structure is gone.
- It's no longer necessary to cons up a fake ether header before passing
incoming packets to BPF_MTAP().
ng_fec_input() has been modified to account for these two changes.
Running tcpdump on fec0 should work now.

TAILQ_FIRST(&ifp->if_addrhead) to find the link layer ifaddr.
(it's always first I believe)
Allows this to compile on -current.
.. need testers with FEC capable switches..
These are really only partly netgraph nodes as they do not use the
netgraph interfaces for many of the functions for which they could
be used, however they represent important functionality.
