configuration function. For failed memory allocations, em(4)/lem(4)
called panic(9) which is not acceptable on production box.
igb(4)/ixgb(4)/ix(4) allocated the required memory in stack which
consumed 768 bytes of stack memory which looks too big.
To address these issues, allocate multicast array memory in device
attach time and make multicast configuration success under any
conditions. This change also removes the excessive use of memory in
stack.

- Add a missing callout_drain() to detach.
- Hook into the stats timer and use that to drive the transmit watchdog
instead of using if_watchdog.
- Run the stats timer every second to match other drivers instead of every
other second.
- Remove dubious callout handling that stopped the timer only to start it
again while holding the driver lock without dropping it in between the
stop and the start.

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.

some of which are rather serious:
- Use the device sysctl tree instead of rolling our own.
- Don't create a bus_dmamap_t to pass to bus_dmamem_alloc(), it is
bus_dmamem_alloc() that creates it itself. The DMA map created
by the driver was overwritten and its memory was leaked.
- Fix resource handling bugs in the error path of ixgb_dma_alloc().
- Don't use vtophys() to get the base address of the TX and RX rings
when busdma already gave us the correct address to use!
- Remove now useless includes and the alpha_XXX_dmamap() hack.
- Don't initialize if_output to ether_output(), ether_ifattach() does
it for us already.
- Add proper module dependencies on ether and pci.
Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to own an ixgb(4) card, nor a
machine with a bus where to plug it in and I couldn't find anyone able
to test these patches, so they are only build-tested and I won't MFC
them for 5.4-RELEASE.
