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.

This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using

eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.

a packet has VLAN mbuf tag attached. This is faster to check than
m_tag_locate(), and allows us to use the tags in non-vlan(4) VLAN
producers.
The first argument to VLAN_OUTPUT_TAG() is now unused but retained
for backward compatibility.
While here, embellish a fix in rev. 1.174 of if_ethersubr.c -- it
now checks for packets with VLAN (mbuf) tags, and it should now
be possible to bridge(4) on vlan(4)'s whose parent interfaces
support VLAN decapsulation in hardware.
