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.

problems:
1) Add locking for SMP, code provided by Alan Cox
2) While testing Alan's patches, I observed serious problems with
the jumbo buffer allocation code (machine crashed twice), so I gutted
it and rewrote the receive handler to use multiple chained descriptors.
Each RX descriptor gets a single 2K cluster, and the chip will fill in
as many as it needs to hold the complete packet.
User reports that this corrects the data corruption issues previously
observed and discussed on -current.
Note that this driver still needs to be hit with the busdma stick.
I intend to inflict said beating in the near future.

Note: this driver does declare and occasionally reference mutexes,
but I believe not nearly enough to provide safety.

and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
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.

Our current MII/PHY state-engine is not able to deal with PHY
interrupts as far as I can tell, and most net drivers don't seem
to use the link/status change call-back mechanism. It seems that
MII/PHY was orphaned before it grew up.

is not restarted.
We used to deal with RX_IDLE by doing a total reinit but this lost
our link and caused a potential 30sec autonegotiation against
switches. This was changed to a less heavyhanded approach, but this
failed to restart the receiver it it were in the RX_IDLE state.
This change adds the RX_IDLE and the RX_FIFO_OFLOW conditions as
triggers for interrupts and receive side processing, and restarts
the receiver when it is RX_IDLE.
Remove the #ifdef notyet'ed nge_rxeoc() function.
