queue so the output network card must support the same tagging mechanism as
how the frame was input (prepended Ethernet header tag or stripped HW mflag).
Now the vlan Ethernet header is _always_ stripped in ether_input and the mbuf
flagged, only only network cards with VLAN_HWTAGGING enabled would properly
re-tag any outgoing vlan frames.
If the outgoing interface does not support hardware tagging then readd the vlan
header to the front of the frame. Move the common vlan encapsulation in to
ether_vlanencap().

Add a note to UPDATING because the change breaks KBI

sizeof ether_header is 2 * ETHER_ADDR_LEN + 2 (14) bytes long
sizeof ether_addr is ETHER_ADDR_LEN bytes long
On arm, this shows that struct ether_addr needs to be __packed.
The first condition muts be true for the bridging code to not dump core.
The second one appears to be implicitly relied upon by wi (but many
of the rids it sends down likely need __packed too to be safe) and
maybe others. It appears to not hurt anything.
processing are forced to toggle this functionality when the card
is put in and out of promiscuous mode. The main reason for this
is because the hardware strips the VLAN tag, making it impossible
for the tag information to show up in network diagnostic tools like
tcpdump(1).
This change introduces ether_vlan_mtap(), which is called if the
mbuf has M_VLANTAG set. VLAN information is extracted from the
mbuf and inserted into a stack allocated ether vlan header which
is then inserted through the bpf machinery via bpf_mtap2(). The
original mbuf's data pointer and lengths are temporarily adjusted
to eliminate the original Ethernet header for the duration of the
tap operation. This should have no long term effects on the mbuf.
Also, define a new macro, ETHER_BPF_MTAP which should be used
by drivers which support hardware offload of VLAN tag processing.
The fixes for the relevant drivers will follow shortly.

o ETHER_* (ETHER_ALIGN, ETHER_MAX_FRAME, ETHER_CRC_LEN, etc.)
o M_HASFCS for drivers to indicate packets include FCS
o remove global declarations for ng_ether* and vlan_* since these
represent a private contract between the if_ethersubr.c code and
certain parts of the system that should not normally be abused
o add ether_* declarations that were elsewhere
o remove ETHER_BPF_* since they are no longer used with the parameter
no longer passed to ether_ifattach and ether_ifdetach

The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),

This means 'options NETGRAPH' is no longer necessary in order to get
netgraph-enabled Ethernet interfaces. This supports loading/unloading
the ng_ether.ko and attaching/detaching the Ethernet interface in any
order.
Add two new hooks 'upper' and 'lower' to allow access to the protocol
demux engine and the raw device, respectively. This enables bridging
to be defined as a netgraph node, if so desired.

be able to transmit and receive syntactically-correct packets.
Also fixes one of if_ethersubr.c's legion style bugs, and removes
the hostcache code from standard kernels---the code that depends on it
is not going to happen any time soon, I'm afraid.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
- C++ should be supported for application functions (use __BEGIN_DECLS,
etc.).
- prototypes should be sorted.
- comments on #endif's should spell identifiers the same as the code.
- comments on #endif's should have the same sense as the code (use `!'
to match ifndef, etc.).
