- Remove MIIBUS statchg callback and program VGE_DIAGCTL before
initiating link establishment. Previously driver used to
program VGE_DIAGCTL after getting a link in statchg callback.
It seems the VGE_DIAGCTL register works like a kind of MII
register such that it requires setting a 'to be' mode in advance
rather than relying on resolved speed/duplex of established link.
This means the statchg callback is not needed in driver. In
addition, if there was no link at the time of media change, this
was not called at all.
- Introduce vge_ifmedia_upd_locked() to change current media to
configured one. Actual media change is performed only after PHY
reset and VGE_DIAGCTL setup.
- In WOL configuration, make sure to clear forced mode such that
controller can rely on auto-negotiation.
- Unlike most other drivers that use miibus(4), vge(4) used
controller's auto-polling feature for link state tracking via
interrupt. This came from controller's inefficient mechanism to
access MII registers. On link state change interrupt, vge(4)
used to get current link state with series of MII register
accesses. Because vge(4) already enabled auto polling, read PHY
status register to resolved speed/duplex/flow control parameters.
vge(4) still does not drive MII_TICK to reduce number of MII
register accesses which in turn means the driver does not know the
status of auto-negotiation. This was a one of long standing
issue of vge(4). Probably driver may be able to implement a timer
that keeps track of auto-negotiation state and restart
auto-negotiation when driver couldn't establish a link within a
specified period. However the controller does not provide a
reliable way to detect auto-negotiation failure so I'm not sure
whether it's worth to implement it in driver.
Alternatively driver can completely disable MII auto-polling and
let miibus(4) poll link state by driving MII_TICK. This may reduce
unnecessary overhead of stopping/restarting MII auto-polling of
controller. Unfortunately it was known that some variants of
controller does not work correctly if MII auto-polling is disabled.

Export proc_getargv() and proc_getenvv() so they can be reused by

__FreeBSD_kernel__ indicates that this system uses the kernel of FreeBSD,
which by definition is always true on FreeBSD. This macro is also defined
on other systems that use the kernel of FreeBSD, such as GNU/kFreeBSD.
It is tempting to use this macro in userland code when we want to enable
kernel-specific routines, and in fact it's fine to do this in code that
is part of FreeBSD itself. However, be aware that as presence of this
macro is still not widespread (e.g. older FreeBSD versions, 3rd party
compilers, etc), it is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED to check for this macro in
external applications without also checking for __FreeBSD__ as an
alternative.

vnode locking for read, readdir, readlink, getattr and access.
It is hoped that this will improve server performance for these
operations, since they will no longer be serialized for a given
file/vnode.
This fixes panics that users have been seeing when operating in station mode,
where the interface undergoes a lot more resets then in hostap mode (ie whilst
doing channel scanning.)

Manual pages from OpenSolaris svn_134 are still properly CDDL licensed
but I have been informed that the parts from s11ex are uncertain even
if they contain a CDDL header.
- Don't deduct wired pages from total usable counts because it does not
make any sense. To make things worse, on systems where swap size is
smaller than physical memory and use a lot of wired pages (e.g. ZFS),
tmpfs can suddenly have free space of 0 because of this;
- Count cached pages as available; [1]
- Don't count inactive pages as available, technically we could but that
might be too aggressive; [1]

structs ifreq/in_aliasreq and there've been several panics due
to that problem. All these panics were fixed just a couple of
lines above the panicing code.
Take a more general approach: sanity check sockaddrs supplied
with SIOCAIFADDR and SIOCSIF*ADDR at the beggining of the
function and drop all checks below.
One check is now disabled due to strange code in ifconfig(8)
that I've removed recently. I'm going to enable it with next
__FreeBSD_version bump.
Historically in_ifinit() was able to recover from an error
and restore old address. Nowadays this feature isn't working
for all error cases, but for some of them. I suppose no software
relies on this behavior, so I'd like to remove it, since this
simplifies code a lot.
Also, move if_scrub() earlier in the in_ifinit(). It is more
correct to wipe routes before removing address from local
address list, and interface address list.
