1cafed3941 Update netisr handling; Each SWI now registers its queue, and all queue
drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control
at some future point.  Packets may also be directly dispatched to a netisr
instead of queued, this may be of interest at some installations, but
currently defaults to off.

673d91916d network interface driver changes:
o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
  up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

6008862bc2 Change callers of mtx_init() to pass in an appropriate lock type name. In
most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

Tested on:	i386, alpha, sparc64

df5e198723 Lock down the network interface queues. The queue mutex must be obtained
before adding/removing packets from the queue.  Also, the if_obytes and
if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.

IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue.  An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.

Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.

f709eddf9f Convert the USB ethernet drivers to use mutexes. Also convert
usb_ethersubr.c. This module maintains two queues for packets which
are each protected with one mutex. These are all the changes I can
do for now. Removing the USBD_NO_TSLEEP flag doesn't work yet: when
I tried it, the system would usually freeze up after a NIC had been
operating for a while. The usb_ethersubr module itself ought to
go away; this is the next thing I need to test.

2e2de7f23f Move code to handle BPF and bridging for incoming Ethernet packets out
of the individual drivers and into the common routine ether_input().
Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.

The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.

The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.

cdb51d12a6 OpenBSD has a broken debugger that does not grok static. Use a

that the OpenBSD folks can define it to be empty if they like.

4c645f4852 Pull my head out of my ass and actually make the tx netisr stuff work right.
Do not not not call m_freem() in the txeof routines. Let the netisr routine
do it. This also makes the tx netisr queuing much simpler (I can just use
another ifqueue instead of the mess I had before.)

Thanks to Bosko Milekic for making me actually think about what I was
doing for a minute.

4f0a6f0403 Bunch of updates:
- Add vendor/device ID for Corega USB-T ethernet adapter to necessary
  places so that it will work with the kue driver.

- Add vendor/device ID for CATC Netmate devices for driver to be added
  soon.

- Get really crazy about netisr stuff: avoid doing any mbuf allocations
  or deallocations at splbio/splusb.

- Fix if_aue driver so that it works with LinkSys USB100TX: you need
  to flip the GPIO bits just the right way to put the PHY in the right
  mode.

502c509ce0 Apply the same netisr mechanism to transmissions as well. In order to
drive the transmitter, we have to check the interface's send queue in the
TX end of frame handler (i.e. the usb bulk out callback) and push out new
transmissions if the queue has packets in it and the transmitter is
ready. But the txeof handler is also called from a USB callback running
at splusb() too.

Grrr.

a0067d7b89 Attempt to fix a problem with receiving packets on USB ethernet interfaces.
Packets are received inside USB bulk transfer callbacks, which run at
splusb() (actually splbio()). The packet input queues are meant to be
manipulated at splimp(). However the locking apparently breaks down under
certain circumstances and the input queues can get trampled.

There's a similar problem with if_ppp, which is driven by hardware/tty
interrupts from the serial driver, but which must also manipulate the
packet input queues at splimp(). The fix there is to use a netisr, and
that's the fix I used here. (I can hear you groaning back there. Hush up.)

The usb_ethersubr module maintains a single queue of its own. When a
packet is received in the USB callback routine, it's placed on this
queue with usb_ether_input(). This routine also schedules a soft net
interrupt with schednetisr(). The ISR routine then runs later, at
splnet, outside of the USB callback/interrupt context, and passes the
packet to ether_input(), hopefully in a safe manner.

The reason this is implemented as a separate module is that there are
a limited number of NETISRs that we can use, and snarfing one up for
each driver that needs it is wasteful (there will be three once I get
the CATC driver done). It also reduces code duplication to a certain
small extent. Unfortunately, it also needs to be linked in with the
usb.ko module in order for the USB ethernet drivers to share it.

Also removed some uneeded includes from if_aue.c and if_kue.c
