- Use m_getcl() instead of MGETHDR/MCLGET macros

network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
- Added support for ITR (interrupt throttle register). This feature is available on
adapters based on 82545 and above
- Fixed problem with vlan support when traffic has priority bits set. (kern/45907)

o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

We are having panics with the driver under stress with jumbo frames.
Unfortunately we didnot catch it during our regular test cycle.
I am going to MFC the backout immediately.

- Cleaned up coding conventions to make code more unix-like.
- Cleaned up code in if_em_fxhw.c and if_em_phy.c.
Added relevant comments.

1. Changed incorrect conditional in fxhw.c which would never
evaluate to true. Thanks to John Polstra for pointing that out.
2. Write to PCI config space by default, enabling memory access and
bus master enable.
