IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they

better, I discovered sn doing too many pointer dereferences. This
driver would do silly things like:
sn_foo(struct ifnet *ifp)
{
struct sn_softc *sc = ifp->if_softc;
sc->ifp->mumble

}
while /* other stuff */ usually needed sc, the extra deref isn't
needed. Eliminate a few dozen of them.
could get an interrupt after we free the ifp, and the interrupt
handler depended on the ifp being still alive, this could, in theory,
cause a crash. Eliminate this possibility by moving the if_free to
after the bus_teardown_intr() call.
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.

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.

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

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.

The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
