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

A number of functions in this driver still use the unit number in their
printouts because they pass the unit directly as a function argument
instead of passing a softc or struct ifnet pointer. This should be
resolved at a future date.

The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),
and bpfattach(). The latter consolidates the corresponding detach operations.

of the individual drivers and into the common routine ether_input().
Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.
The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.

fe_read_eeprom_rex() and fe_init_rex(). These functions should be
useful for REX-5580 series (for PC-AT). But they are included in
`#ifdef PC98' to avoid warnings by unused static functions. If you
try to support REX-5580, please be aware of these functions.

if_fe.c uses PCCARD_MODULE() and is part of GENERIC. I've #ifdef'ed out
the #include of "card.h" to hopefully disable pccard support in this
driver until it can be converted. I'm not positive this will fix make
release, but it can't possibly make it any worse than it is now.
I hope this stuff settles down soon.
This means that we will not have to have a bpf and a non-bpf version
of our driver modules.
This does not open any security hole, because the bpf core isn't loadable
The drivers left unchanged are the "cross platform" drivers where the respective
maintainers are urged to DTRT, whatever that may be.
Add a couple of missing FreeBSD tags.

FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
This will not make any of object files that LINT create change; there
might be differences with INET disabled, but hardly anything compiled
before without INET anyway. Now the 'obvious' things will give a
proper error if compiled without inet - ipx_ip, ipfw, tcp_debug. The
only thing that _should_ work (but can't be made to compile reasonably
easily) is sppp :-(
This commit move struct arpcom from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
