axe_cmd() calls. Without this the device can get confused if multiple
threads attempt these operations concurrently. The problem was
easily reproducible by running "ifconfig axe0" in a loop because
eventually it would conflict with axe_tick_task().
A similar approach is probably required in all USB ethernet drivers.
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.

in all USB ethernet drivers. The qdat structure contains a pointer
to the interface's struct ifnet and is used to process incoming
packets, so simultaneous use of two similar devices caused crashes
and confusion.
The if_udav driver appeared in the tree since Daan's PR, so I made
similar changes to that driver too.

populated. Apparently, if you use an ehci controller, it's not.
Use usbd_device2interface_handle() to retrieve the interface handle.
NOTE: uaa->iface is populated in the probe routine, so I suspect the
fact that it's NULL in the attach routine is a bug in the ehci driver.
Also, don't depend on the PHY addresses returned by the AXE_CMD_READ_PHYID
command. The address is correct for my LinkSys NIC, but a user has
reported that with a D-Link NIC, the PHYID command returns address 4
while the attached Broadcom PHY is in fact strapped for address 0.
Instead, latch onto the first PHY address that returns valid data
during a readreg operation.
ethernet controller. The driver has been tested with the LinkSys
USB200M adapter. I know for a fact that there are other devices out
there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.
Note: I'm not sure if this will force the driver to end up in the
install kernel image or not. Special magic needs to be done to exclude
it to keep the boot floppies from bloating again, someone please
advise.
