quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

just two different attachments (EISA and PCI) to a single driver.
- Add real locking. Previously these drivers only acquired their lock
in their interrupt handler or in the ioctl routine (but too broadly in
the latter). No locking was used for the stack calling down into the
driver via if_init() or if_start(), for device shutdown or detach. Also,
the interrupt handler held the driver lock while calling if_input(). All
this stuff should be fixed in the locking changes.
- Really fix these drivers to handle if_alloc(). The front-end attachments
were using if_initname() before the ifnet was allocated. Fix this by
moving some of the duplicated logic from each driver into pdq_ifattach().
While here, make pdq_ifattach() return an error so that the driver just
fails to attach if if_alloc() fails rather than panic'ing. Also, defer
freeing the ifnet until the driver has stopped using it during detach.
- Add a new private timer to drive the watchdog timer.
- Pass the softc pointer to the interrupt handlers instead of the device_t
so we can avoid the use of device_get_softc() and to better match what
other drivers do.
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.

- Change iso88025_ifattach() and fddi_ifattach() to accept MAC
address as an argument, similar to ether_ifattach(), to make
this work.
IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;

over iteration of their multicast address lists when synchronizing the
hardware address filter with the network stack-maintained list.
Problem reported by: Ed Maste (emaste at phaedrus dot sandvine dot ca>
MFC after: 1 week
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.

file already specifies the use of contigmalloc() and contigfree(). Thus,

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.
Note that __bsdi__s_/_i_/_os_/__ has moved this file to dev/ic/ and
has completely removed the non-compiling function from pdq_ifsubr.c and
has completely removed this function and placed it into netinet/if_ether.c
(if, in fact, it wasn't there the whole time). I was tempted to simply
remove this __bsdi__only__ function.
The function is arp_ifinit().
