Removed dead code that assumed that M_TRYWAIT can return NULL; it's not true
since the advent of MBUMA.

There are ongoing disputes as to whether we want to switch to directly using
UMA flags M_WAITOK/M_NOWAIT for mbuf(9) allocation.
- lock its own locks and drop Giant.
- create its own taskqueue thread.
- split interrupt routine
- use interrupt filter as a fast interrupt.
- run watchdog timer in taskqueue so that it should be
serialized with the bottom half.
- add extra sanity check for transaction labels.
disable ad-hoc workaround for unknown tlabels.
- add sleep/wakeup synchronization primitives
- don't reset OHCI in fwohci_stop()
semantics.
- Stop testing bpf pointers for NULL. In some cases use
bpf_peers_present() and then call the function directly inside the
conditional block instead of the macro.
- For places where the entire conditional block is the macro, remove the
test and make the macro unconditional.
- Use BPF_MTAP() in if_pfsync on FreeBSD instead of an expanded version of
the old semantics.

- Include opt_device_polling.h into appropriate files.
- Embrace with HAVE_KERNEL_OPTION_HEADERS the include in the files that
can be compiled as loadable modules.

o Axe poll in trap.
o Axe IFF_POLLING flag from if_flags.
o Rework revision 1.21 (Giant removal), in such a way that
poll_mtx is not dropped during call to polling handler.
This fixes problem with idle polling.
o Make registration and deregistration from polling in a
functional way, insted of next tick/interrupt.
o Obsolete kern.polling.enable. Polling is turned on/off
with ifconfig.
Detailed kern_poll.c changes:
- Remove polling handler flags, introduced in 1.21. The are not
needed now.
- Forget and do not check if_flags, if_capenable and if_drv_flags.
- Call all registered polling handlers unconditionally.
- Do not drop poll_mtx, when entering polling handlers.
- In ether_poll() NET_LOCK_GIANT prior to locking poll_mtx.
- In netisr_poll() axe the block, where polling code asks drivers
to unregister.
- In netisr_poll() and ether_poll() do polling always, if any
handlers are present.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() remove a lot of error hiding code. Assert
that arguments are correct, instead.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() use standard return values in case of
error or success.
- Introduce poll_switch() that is a sysctl handler for kern.polling.enable.
poll_switch() goes through interface list and enabled/disables polling.
A message that kern.polling.enable is deprecated is printed.
Detailed driver changes:
- On attach driver announces IFCAP_POLLING in if_capabilities, but
not in if_capenable.
- On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled.
- In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING
flag. If there is no, then unlocks and returns.
- In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to
be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then
obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts.
- In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable.
If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious
interrupts.

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.

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.

conform to the rfc2734 and rfc3146 standard for IP over firewire and
should eventually supercede the fwe driver. Right now the broadcast
channel number is hardwired and we don't support MCAP for multicast
channel allocation - more infrastructure is required in the firewire
code itself to fix these problems.
