there's not dependencies on pccard symboles, such a dependency is not
necessary. This means that drivers that have multiple attachments can
not drag bogus devices into the kernel at load time.
We can't (yet) do this with pci and isa. Drivers written for them
actually do seem to have symbols that depend on these busses'
implementation code.

if the link-level address has been initialized already.
The majority of modern drivers never does this and works fine, which
makes me think that the check is totally unnecessary and a residue
of cut&paste from other drivers.
This change is done to simplify locking because now almost none of the
drivers uses this field. The exceptions are "ct" "ctau" and "cx"
where i am not sure if i can remove that part.
multicast hash are written. There are still two distinct algorithms used,
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).
crashes that had sn0 as the irq that's being serviced, when there was
no sn0 in the system. This seems to prevent them. Also, we want to
wait until after we've registered with the network layer before we
turn on the interrupt spigot to avoid races.
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.

possible to have different probe/attach semantics between the two
systems and yet still use the same driver for both.
Compatibility methods for OLDCARD drivers. We use these routines to make
it possible to call the OLDCARD driver's probe routine in the context that
it expects. For OLDCARD these are implemented as pass throughs to the
device_{probe,attach} routines. For NEWCARD they are implemented such
such that probe becomes strictly a matching routine and attach does both
the old probe and old attach.
compat devices should use the following:
/* Device interface */
DEVMETHOD(device_probe), pccard_compat_probe),
DEVMETHOD(device_attach), pccard_compat_attach),
/* Card interface */
DEVMETHOD(card_compat_match, foo_match), /* newly written */
DEVMETHOD(card_compat_probe, foo_probe), /* old probe */
DEVMETHOD(card_compat_attach, foo_attach), /* old attach */
This will allow a single driver binary image to be used for both
OLDCARD and NEWCARD.
Drivers wishing to not retain OLDCARD compatibility needn't do this.
