b0d17ba69e Rename lminor() to dev2unit(). This function gives a linear unit number
which hides the 'hole' in the minor bits.

Introduce unit2minor() to do the reverse operation.

Fix some some make_dev() calls which didn't use UID_* or GID_* macros.

Kill the v_hashchain alias macro, it hides the real relationship.

Introduce experimental SI_CHEAPCLONE flag set it on cloned bpfs.

a5213f145a Add the tap driver.
The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.

This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.
