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.

a packet has VLAN mbuf tag attached. This is faster to check than
m_tag_locate(), and allows us to use the tags in non-vlan(4) VLAN
producers.
The first argument to VLAN_OUTPUT_TAG() is now unused but retained
for backward compatibility.
While here, embellish a fix in rev. 1.174 of if_ethersubr.c -- it
now checks for packets with VLAN (mbuf) tags, and it should now
be possible to bridge(4) on vlan(4)'s whose parent interfaces
support VLAN decapsulation in hardware.

Now it is user-controlled through ifconfig(8).
The former ``automagic'' way of operation created more
trouble than good. First, VLAN_MTU consumers other than
vlan(4) had appeared, e.g., ng_vlan(4). Second, there was
no way to disable VLAN_MTU manually if it were causing
trouble, e.g., data corruption.
Dropping the ``automagic'' should be completely invisible
to the user since
a) all the drivers supporting VLAN_MTU
have it enabled by default, and in the first place
b) there is only one driver that can really toggle VLAN_MTU
in the hardware under its control (it's fxp(4), to which
I added VLAN_MTU controls to illustrate the principle.)

that "ifconfig stf" creates the interface stf rather then stf0 and
does not print "stf0" to stdout.
- Allow destroy functions to fail so they can refuse to delete
interfaces. Currently, we forbid the deletion of interfaces which
were created in the init function, particularly lo0, pflog0, and
pfsync0. In the case of lo0 this was a panic implementation so it
does not count as a user visiable change. :-)
- Since most interfaces do not need the new functionality, an family of
wrapper functions, ifc_simple_*(), were created to wrap old style
cloner functions.
- The IF_CLONE_INITIALIZER macro is replaced with a new incompatible
IFC_CLONE_INITIALIZER and ifc_simple consumers use IFC_SIMPLE_DECLARE

WRT manipulating capabilities of the parent interface:
- use ioctl(SIOCSIFCAP) to toggle VLAN_MTU (the way that was done
before was just wrong);
- use the right order of conditional clauses to set the MTU fudge
(that is logically independent from toggling VLAN_MTU.)
This change is possible since all the relevant drivers have been
fixed to set if_capenable properly. The field if_capabilities tracks
supported capabilities, which may be disabled administratively.
Inheriting checksum offload support from the parent interface isn't
that easy because the checksumming capabilities of the parent may be
toggled on the fly. Disable the code for now.

insertion and extraction) has revealed two bugs:
- In vlan_start(), we're supposed to check the underlying interface to
see if it has the IFCAP_VLAN_HWTAGGING cabability set and, if so, set
things up for the VLAN_OUTPUT_TAG() routine. However the code checks
ifp->if_capabilities, which is the vlan pseudo-interface's capabilities
when it should be checking p->if_capabilities, which relates to the
underlying physical interface. Change ifp->if_capabilities to
p->if_capabilities so this works.
- In vlan_input(), we have to extract the 16-bit tag value from the
received frame and use it to figure out which vlan interface gets
the frame. The code that we use to track down the desired vlan
pseudo-interface is:
for (ifv = LIST_FIRST(&ifv_list); ifv != NULL;
ifv = LIST_NEXT(ifv, ifv_list))
if (ifp == ifv->ifv_p && tag == ifv->ifv_tag)
break;
The problem is that 'tag' is not computed consistently. In the case
where the interface supports hardware VLAN tag extraction and calls
VLAN_INPUT_TAG(), we do this:
tag = *(u_int*)(mtag+1);
But in the software emulation case, we do this
tag = EVL_VLANOFTAG(ntohs(evl->evl_tag));
The problem here is the EVL_VLANOFTAG() macro is only ever applied
in this one case. It's never applied to ifv->ifv_tag or anwhere else.
We must be consistent: either it's applied everywhere or nowhere.
To see how this can be a problem, do something like
ifconfig vlan0 vlan 12345 vlandev foo0 and observe the results.
I'm not quite sure what the right thing is to do here. Neither the
vlan(4) nor ifconfig(8) man pages suggest which way to go. For now,
I've removed this use of EVL_VLANOFTAG() so that the tag will match
correctly in all cases. I will not get upset if somebody makes a
compelling argument for using EVL_VLANOFTAG() everywhere instead,
as long as the use is consistent.
