This is needed for two reasons:
* Drivers will need to know what the negotiated set of VHT capabilities
and rates are in order to configure (and reconfigure for opmode/chanwidth
changes) how to speak to a given peer; and
* Because some vendors are "special", we should be careful in what we announce
to them during peer association.
This isn't the complete solution, as I still need to make sure that when
sending out probe requests before we know what we want, we don't limit
the capabilities being announced. This is important for IBSS/mesh work
later on as probe request/response exchanges are the first hint at what
a peer supports. I'll look at adding that to the API soon.

originally would have lost their igbX device.

These have been tested back-to-back with Linux 3.x and a similar attachment
at the other end; a CDC EEM-like encapsulation can be used for emulated
Ethernet over udbp(4) with ng_ether.
potentially leading to fatal unaligned accesses on architectures with
strict alignment requirements. This change fixes dummynet(4) as far
as accesses to 64-bit members of struct dn_* are concerned, tripping
up on sparc64 with accesses to 32-bit members happening to be correctly
aligned there. In other words, this only fixes the tip of the iceberg;
larger parts of dummynet(4) still need to be rewritten in order to
properly work on all of !x86.
In principle, considering the amount of code in dummynet(4) that needs
this erroneous pattern corrected, an acceptable workaround would be to
declare all struct dn_* packed, forcing compilers to do byte-accesses
as a side-effect. However, given that the structs in question aren't
laid out well either, this would break ABI/KBI.
While at it, replace all existing bcopy(9) calls with memcpy(9) for
performance reasons, as there is no need to check for overlap in these
cases.

If some process' nodes were accessed using procfs and the process
cannot exit properly at the time modunload event is reported to the
pseudofs-backed filesystem, the assertion in pfs_vncache_unload() is
triggered. Assertion is correct, the cache should be cleaned.

Fix a clang 4.0.0 warning about taking the address of a packed member of
struct mfi_evt in mfiutil:
usr.sbin/mfiutil/mfi_evt.c:583:30: error: taking address of packed
member 'members' of class or structure 'mfi_evt' may result in an
unaligned pointer value [-Werror,-Waddress-of-packed-member]
if (parse_locale(optarg, &filter.members.locale) < 0) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use a local variable instead, and copy that into the struct.
