This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and

- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.

ALTQ enabled versions of IFQ_* macros by default, as requested by serveral
others. This is a follow-up to the quick fix I committed yesterday which
turned off the ALTQ checks for non-ALTQ kernels.
rig a PREPEND macro for ALTQ as the POLL/DEQUEUE semantic is very bad in
terms of locking. We make this a full functional queue to allow "bulk
dequeue" which will further reduce the locking overhead (for non-altq
enabled devices). Drivers will access this via the following macros, which
will show up in <net/if_var.h> once we expose ALTQ to the build:
IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE(ifq, m) - takes a mbuf off the queue (driver queue first)
IFQ_DRV_PREPEND(ifq, m) - pushes a mbuf back to the driver queue
IFQ_DRV_PURGE(ifq) - drops all packets in both queues
IFQ_DRV_IS_EMPTY(ifq) - checks for pending mbufs in either queue
One has to make sure that the first three are protected by a driver mutex.
At the moment most network drivers still require Giant, so this is not an
issue. Even those that have thier own mutex usually hold it in if_start and
the like, so this requirement is almost always satisfied.
This evolved from a discussion with Andrew Gallatin.
