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.

status registers for error conditions and updating statistics
when there are cycles left (inspired by the nge(4) driver).
- Removed the TX list counter and the producer/consumer gap; it's
enough to just ensure we don't reuse the last (free) descriptor,
as the chip may not have read its next pointer yet. If we reuse
it, the TX may stall under a heavy TX load with polling enabled.
- Dropped code to recharge the watchdog timer, it's pointless; the
watchdog routine will re-init the chip and both RX and TX lists.
Moved the RX ring resyncing code to ste_rxeoc(), and only run it
if we were asked to POLL_AND_CHECK_STATUS, under DEVICE_POLLING.
(This significantly reduces the CPU load.)
Improved the RX ring resyncing code by re-checking if the head
is still empty before doing resyncing. This mostly affects the
DEVICE_POLLING mode, where we run this code periodically. We
could start checking with an empty head (well, an empty ring
even), and after doing a few iterations, the chip might write
a few entries, including the head, and we would bogusly consider
this case as requiring resyncing. On a test box, this reduced
the number of resyncs done by a factor of 10.
In ste_txeof(sc), only reset the watchdog timer to zero when
the TX list is completely empty.
Converted ste_tx_prev_idx to a pointer -- faster.
Removed some bitrot.
the driver's RX ring head may fall behind the chip, causing the
stuck traffic, disordered packets, etc. Work around this by
adopting the technique of resyncing RX head used in dc(4) and
xl(4) drivers, but do it in a slightly different place to reduce
the number of resyncs needed.
Also, set the NIC's RX polling period to a more meaningful value,
to stop overloading the PCI bus (this also reduces the number of
resyncs by a factor of 3 or more in a long run; the actual number
is very dependent on a nature of the traffic).
Maintain the statistics counter as the hw.ste_rxsyncs sysctl.

multicast hash are written. There are still two distinct algorithms used,
and there actually isn't any reason each driver should have its own copy
of this function as they could all share one copy of it (if it grew an
additional argument).
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.

if attach succeeded. device_is_alive just tells us that probe
succeeded. Since we were using it to do things like detach net
interfaces, this caused problems when there were errors in the attach
routine.
Symptoms of problem reported by: martin blapp
- Unconditionally call *_stop() if device is in the tree. This is to
prevent callouts from happening after the device is gone. Checks for
bus_child_present() should be added in the future to keep from touching
potentially non-existent hardware in *_detach(). Found by iedowse@.
- Always check for and free miibus children, even if the device is not in
the tree since some failure cases could have gotten here.
- Call ether_ifdetach() in the irq setup failure case
- ti(4), xl(4): move ifmedia_init() calls to the beginning of attach so
that ifmedia_removeall() can be unconditionally called on detach. There
is no way to detect whether ifmedia has been initialized without using
a separate variable (as tl(4) does).
- Add comments to indicate assumptions of code path
network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
- Remove locking of the softc in the attach method, instead depending on
bus_setup_intr being at the end of attach (delaying interrupt enable until
after ether_ifattach is called)
- Call *_detach directly in the error case of attach, depending on checking
in detach to only free resources that were allocated. This puts all
resource freeing in one place, avoiding thinkos that lead to memory leaks.
- Add bus_child_present check to calls to *_stop in the detach method to
be sure hw is present before touching its registers.
- Remove bzero softc calls since device_t should do this for us.
- dc: move interrupt allocation back where it was before. It was unnecessary
to move it. This reverts part of 1.88
- rl: move irq allocation before ether_ifattach. Problems might have been
caused by allocating the irq after enabling interrupts on the card.
- rl: call rl_stop before ether_ifdetach
- sf: call sf_stop before ether_ifdetach
- sis: add missed free of sis_tag
- sis: check errors from tag creation
- sis: move dmamem_alloc and dmamap_load to happen at same time as tag creation
- sk: remove duplicate initialization of sk_dev
- ste: add missed bus_generic_detach
- ti: call ti_stop before ether_ifdetach
- ti: add missed error setting in ti_rdata alloc failure
- vr: add missed error setting in I/O, memory mapping cases
- xl: add missed error setting in I/O, memory mapping cases
- xl: remove multi-level goto on attach failure
- xl: move dmamem_alloc and dmamap_load to happen at same time as tag creation
- Calls to free(9) are unconditional because it is valid to call free with a
null pointer.
