This reduces noise when kernel is compiled by newer GCC versions,
such as one used by external toolchain ports.

The driver is currently hardcoded to force promiscuous mode, so all of
the MAC filtering code is presently unused and multicast should "just
work." Report to the higher layers that multicast is supported.

If the driver is not active or link is down the packet could remain
non-writeable. This commit makes all mbufs enqueued to the driver's
ring buffer to have correct attributes.

- Avoid memory leak when nicvf_tx_mbuf_locked() fails
- Introduce nicvf_xmit_locked() routine that uses drbr_peek(),
drbr_advance() or drbr_putback() for a specific ifnet.
This gives more clear and efficient design as well as
prevents from dropping mbufs that where not sent due to temporary
lack of descriptors.
- Add missing ETHER_BPF_MTAP() hook

- The network controller verifies Rx TCP/UDP/SCTP checksums by default.
Communicate this to the stack when the packet is not marked as erroneous
to avoid redundant checksum calculation in kernel.
- It is not uncommon to get the mbuf with m_len that is less than
the minimal size for the IP, TCP, UDP, etc. when HW checsumming
is enabled. To avoid data corruption performed by the HW that is
intended to write IP and TCP/UDP/SCTP checksums to the data segment,
the mbuf needs to be pulled up by the required number of bytes.
- Make sure that one can modify the mbufs that require checsum calculation
rather than check for NULL mbuf on each transmission.
