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.

Tested On: i386, amd64, sparc64
Obtained From: NetBSD (if_xname)
IP fast forwarding, SIOCGIFADDR, setting hardware address (not currently
enabled in cm driver), multicasts (experimental)
- add ARC_MAX_DATA, use IF_HANDOFF, remove arc_sprintf() and some unused
variables
- if_simloop logic is made more similar to ethernet
- drop not ours packets early (if we are not in promiscous mode)

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
