struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

netisr_queue() now returns (0) on success and ERRNO on failure. At the
moment ENXIO (netisr queue not functional) and ENOBUFS (netisr queue full)
are supported.
Previously it would return (1) on success but the return value of IF_HANDOFF()
was interpreted wrongly and (0) was actually returned on success. Due to this
schednetisr() was never called to kick the scheduling of the isr. However this
was masked by other normal packets coming through netisr_dispatch() causing the
dequeueing of waiting packets.

Also introduce a macro to be called by persistent nodes to signal their
persistence during shutdown to hide this mechanism from the node author.
Make node flags have a consistent style in naming.
Document the change.
Thanks to Sam for importing tags in a way that allowed this to be done.

Also allow the sr and ar drivers to create netgraph versions of their modules.
Document the change to the ksocket node.
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.

messages are forwarded as netgraph control messages to the node
that is connected to the manage hook. If that hook is not connected,
the event is lost. Flow control events are converted to netgraph
flow control messages and send along the hook that is connected to
the flow controlled VC. ACR change events are converted to control
messages and sent along the hook for the given VC.
