fc74a9f93a Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the
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.

bc9d299133 Change the definition of struct if_data's member ifi_epoch from wall
clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.

This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.  None are know to
exist today.  This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.

Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

e06e6ff9bc 1. There are interface capabilities to be used by "lower" kernel
components as well, i.e., polling.

2. Stress that if_capenable should be modified only from within
   the interface driver because it solely knows about how to control
   the capabilities.

36c19a572a Add the kernel side of network interface renaming support.
The basic process is to send a routing socket announcement that the
interface has departed, change if_xname, update the sockaddr_dl
associated with the interface, and announce the arrival of the interface
on the routing socket.

As part of this change, ifunit() is greatly simplified by testing
if_xname directly.  if_clone_destroy() now uses if_dname to look up the
cloner for the interface and if_dunit to identify the unit number.

9bf40ede4a Replace the if_name and if_unit members of struct ifnet with new members
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.

97a30ee292 Remove paragraph which describes how we might switch our packet queueing
discipline to Random Early Detection (RED) in the future.  The same para
incorrectly spelt ``Random Early Detection'' as ``Random Early Drop''.

While I am there, nuke IF_ENQ_DROP from the list of functions.  More
work will be done on this, since some of the functions like
if_enq_drop() and if_queue_drop() were replaced with one function
called if_handoff() that does the job of enqueing the packet and
updating interface statistics as necessary.
