IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

handling in order to reduce interrupt overhead which results in
better performance.
- Call ether_ifdetach(9) before stopping the controller and the
callouts detach in order to prevent active BPF listeners to clear
promiscuous mode which may lead to the tick callout being restarted
which will trigger a panic once it's actually gone.
- Add explicit IFF_DRV_RUNNING checking in order to prevent extra
link up/down events when using dhclient(8).
- Use the correct macro for deciding whether 2/3 of the available TX
descriptors are used.
- Wrap the RX fault printing in #ifdef CAS_DEBUG in order to not
unnecessarily frighten users and as debugging was the actual
intention. Real errors caused by these faults still will be
accumulated as input errors. It might be a good idea to later on
add driver specific counters for the faults though.

DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers. These are the successors
of the Sun GEM controllers and still have a similar but extended transmit
logic. As such this driver is based on gem(4).
Thanks to marcel@ for providing a Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE)
card which was vital for getting this driver to work on architectures
not using Open Firmware.
