promiscuous mode introduced in 1.45, which programs the em card not
to strip or prepend tags when in promiscuous mode without also
modifying behavior to manually prepend a vlan header in the event
that the card isn't doing it on transmit. Due to a feature of card
operation, if the global VLAN prepend/strip register isn't set,
setting the VLAN tag flag on individual packet descriptors will
cause the packet to be transmitted using ISL encapsulation rather
than 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation.
This fix causes em_encap() to prepend the header by tracking whether
the card is configured to temporarily disable prepending/stripping
due to promiscuous mode. As a result, entering promiscuous mode on
the parent em interface no longer causes vlans to appear to "wedge"
or transmit ISL-encapsulated frames, which typically will not be
configured/spoken by the other endpoints on the VLAN trunk. This
bug may also exist in other drivers, and the additional vlan
encapsulation logic should be abstracted and centralized in
if_vlan.c if so.

recompiling the driver. See the comments near the top of "if_em.h"
for descriptions of these delays. Four new loader tunables control
the system-wide default values:
hw.em.tx_int_delay
hw.em.rx_int_delay
hw.em.tx_abs_int_delay
hw.em.rx_abs_int_delay
The tunables are specified in microseconds. The valid range is
0-67108 usec., and 0 means that the timer is disabled.
There are also four new sysctls (actually, a set of four for each
"em" device in the system) to query and change the interrupt delays
after the system is up:
hw.em0.tx_int_delay
hw.em0.rx_int_delay
hw.em0.tx_abs_int_delay (not present for 82542/3/4 adapters)
hw.em0.rx_abs_int_delay (not present for 82542/3/4 adapters)
It seems to be OK to change these values even while the adapter is
passing traffic.

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

We are having panics with the driver under stress with jumbo frames.
Unfortunately we didnot catch it during our regular test cycle.
I am going to MFC the backout immediately.
