NULL or change it. We initialize it before we set if_ioctl. It can
therefore never be NULL, and most other drivers don't bother with this
sanity check.
As an experiment, I changed snp(4) to use a mutex instead of an sx lock.
We can't enable this right now, because Syscons still picks up Giant.
It's nice to already have the framework there.
adapted to MPSAFE cam(4) to a isp(4) specific callout structure.
Thanks to Florian Smeets for providing access to a machine exhibiting
this problem for debugging.

sc_rixmap is an inverse map
NB: could eliminate the check for an invalid rate by filling in 0 for
invalid entries but the rate control modules use it to identify
bogus rates so leave it for now
previously always pointing to the default vnet context, to a
dynamically changing thread-local one. The currvnet context
should be set on entry to networking code via CURVNET_SET() macros,
and reverted to previous state via CURVNET_RESTORE(). Recursions
on curvnet are permitted, though strongly discuouraged.
This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE
kernel builds, where CURVNET_* macros expand to whitespace.
The curthread->td_vnet (aka curvnet) variable's purpose is to be an
indicator of the vnet context in which the current network-related
operation takes place, in case we cannot deduce the current vnet
context from any other source, such as by looking at mbuf's
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif->if_vnet, sockets's so->so_vnet etc. Moreover, so
far curvnet has turned out to be an invaluable consistency checking
aid: it helps to catch cases when sockets, ifnets or any other
vnet-aware structures may have leaked from one vnet to another.
The exact placement of the CURVNET_SET() / CURVNET_RESTORE() macros
was a result of an empirical iterative process, whith an aim to
reduce recursions on CURVNET_SET() to a minimum, while still reducing
the scope of CURVNET_SET() to networking only operations - the
alternative would be calling CURVNET_SET() on each system call entry.
In general, curvnet has to be set in three typicall cases: when
processing socket-related requests from userspace or from within the
kernel; when processing inbound traffic flowing from device drivers
to upper layers of the networking stack, and when executing
timer-driven networking functions.
This change also introduces a DDB subcommand to show the list of all
vnet instances.

Broadcom BCM43xx chipsets. This driver uses the v3 firmware that
needs to be fetched separately. A port will be committed to create
the bwi firmware module.
The driver matches the following chips: Broadcom BCM4301, BCM4307,
BCM4306, BCM4309, BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318, BCM4319
The driver works for 802.11b and 802.11g.
Limitations:
This doesn't support the 802.11a or 802.11n portion of radios.
Some BCM4306 and BCM4309 cards don't work with Channel 1, 2 or 3.
Documenation for this firmware is reverse engineered from
http://bcm.sipsolutions.net/
V4 of the firmware is needed for 11a or 11n support
http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/
Firmware needs to be fetched from a third party, port to be committed
# I've tested this with a BCM4319 mini-pci and a BCM4318 CardBus card, and
# not connected it to the build until the firmware port is committed.
