PS. There is a inconsistency in this manual page, because in
non-WITNESS case sx_assert(9) does not panics, it only prints
the warning. I haven't fixed this, because jhb@ is planing to
replace those printf()s with panic()s.

The basic process is to send a routing socket announcement that the
interface has departed, change if_xname, update the sockaddr_dl
associated with the interface, and announce the arrival of the interface
on the routing socket.
As part of this change, ifunit() is greatly simplified by testing
if_xname directly. if_clone_destroy() now uses if_dname to look up the
cloner for the interface and if_dunit to identify the unit number.

network interface cards smart (or twisted?) enough to be able
to calculate a TCP/UDP checksum for a packet fragmented by the
host CPU. Therefore the paragraph on the case has been revised.
- Sort MAN and MLINKS in "dictionary" order ignoring case.
- For multi-value MAN and multi-pair MLINKS, put each value/pair
on its own line, for easier sorting and so that further diffs
are easier to see.
to the nice style used in ifnet(9).
This includes specifying field types, starting descriptions
with a capital letter, and ending them with a full stop.
Improve the language a bit, as well.
- A #include of <sys/mutex.h> is no longer needed to use sx(9) (since
2001/05/01).
- Use of the SX_SYSINIT() macro requires inclusion of '<sys/kernel.h>'
The manual page contains enough information to get someone started
with ALQ.
MLINKS have been added appropriately.

if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.
