through ifp anyway. IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except
one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.
- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom",
and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted
to use IF_LLADDR() instead.
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;
some less so.

over iteration of their multicast address lists when synchronizing the
hardware address filter with the network stack-maintained list.

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.

if_start routines cannot currently be entered without Giant. When
the kernel is running with debug.mpsafenet != 0, this will defer
if_start execution to a task queue thread holding Giant, which may
introduce additional latency, but avoid incorrect execution.

in all USB ethernet drivers. The qdat structure contains a pointer
to the interface's struct ifnet and is used to process incoming
packets, so simultaneous use of two similar devices caused crashes
and confusion.
The if_udav driver appeared in the tree since Daan's PR, so I made
similar changes to that driver too.

and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
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.
