o remove unused fields from softc and args from cs_alloc_irq
o remove some commented code that will never be implemented.
o Don't try to send a packet and see if it worked. We don't
need this anymore, and it doesn't add any value.
o tweaks for BNC and AUI.
o limit possible time hung in the kernel to 4s rather than 40s.
they can re-added. Remove CS_NAME. Don't whine when there's an
ignored checksum error: User has said STFU, so we should S the FU.
(remove mandated properties).
- Add a mutex to the softc to protect the softc and the device hardware.
- Add a private timer to manage transmit watchdogs rather than using
if_timer/if_watchdog.
- Setup the interrupt handler after ether_ifattach().

if_watchdog, etc., or in functions used only in these methods.
In all other functions in the driver use device_printf().
- Use __func__ instead of typing function name.

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.

EtherJet, the interrupt is selected in the eeprom based on the layout
of the PC Card board. Since this is encoded into the EEPROM, and has
no relationship to the IRQ that the pccard bridge routes the PC Card's
interrupt pin to.
As such, stop writing to that register. This gets my EtherJet working.
# The eeprom reading code appears to be totally wrong for my EtherJet
# card. This causes the card to bogusly detect the media options
# available.
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.

parts: isa and pccard. The isa one is known to work with an IBM
EtherJet ISA card. The pccard one isn't known to work because the
EtherJet pccard I purchased recently arrived DOA :-(. I'll commit the
pccard.conf entry when the replacement card arrives.
I plan on MFC this in a week or two.
