reason why it shouldn't be static.

since the the command and data that is being built to be sent to or read
from the HW lives in the softc. Commands are later run via an_setdef etc.
In the ioctl path various references are kept to the data stored in
the softc so it needs to be protected. Almost think of the command
in the softc a global variable since it essentially is. Since locking
wasn't done in this type of context the commands would get corrupted.
Thanks to avatar@ for catching some lock issues and dhw@ for testing.
Things are a lot more stable except for the MPI-350 cards. My an(4)
remote laptop stays on the network now.
The driver should be changed so that it uses private memory that is passed
to the functions that talk to the card. Then only those functions would
really need to grab locks.

help us to avoid a possible panic-on-free due to the callout API tries

- In an_stats_update(), check the return value of an_read_record(). This

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.
