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.

save to call if_attachdomain from if_attach() (as done for if_loop.c). We
will now end up with a properly initialized if_afdata array and the nd6
callout will no longer try to deref a NULL pointer.
Still this is a temp workaround and the locking for if_afdata should be
revisited at a later point.

- Split the code out into if_clone.[ch].
- Locked struct if_clone. [1]
- Add a per-cloner match function rather then simply matching names of
the form <name><unit> and <name>.
- Use the match function to allow creation of <interface>.<tag>
vlan interfaces. The old way is preserved unchanged!
- Also the match function to allow creation of stf(4) interfaces named
stf0, stf, or 6to4. This is the only major user visible change in
that "ifconfig stf" creates the interface stf rather then stf0 and
does not print "stf0" to stdout.
- Allow destroy functions to fail so they can refuse to delete
interfaces. Currently, we forbid the deletion of interfaces which
were created in the init function, particularly lo0, pflog0, and
pfsync0. In the case of lo0 this was a panic implementation so it
does not count as a user visiable change. :-)
- Since most interfaces do not need the new functionality, an family of
wrapper functions, ifc_simple_*(), were created to wrap old style
cloner functions.
- The IF_CLONE_INITIALIZER macro is replaced with a new incompatible
IFC_CLONE_INITIALIZER and ifc_simple consumers use IFC_SIMPLE_DECLARE
instead.

Version 3.5 brings:
- Atomic commits of ruleset changes (reduce the chance of ending up in an
inconsistent state).
- A 30% reduction in the size of state table entries.
- Source-tracking (limit number of clients and states per client).
- Sticky-address (the flexibility of round-robin with the benefits of
source-hash).
- Significant improvements to interface handling.
- and many more ...

portversion 2.03 with some additional tweaks.
The rather extensive diff accounts for:
- locking (to enable pf to work with a giant-free netstack)
- byte order difference between OpenBSD and FreeBSD for ip_len/ip_off
- conversion from pool(9) to zone(9)
- api differences etc.
