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.

the problems with network MPSAFEty have been sorted out this will
be removed and the driver will default to MPSAFE.

the allocation size for buffers to a maximum of 8192.

to manipulate them in the free routine without having to lock the softc
structure or the free list. To get space for these flags the chunk number
is reduced to 8 bit which amounts to a maximum of 256 chunks per allocated
page. This restriction is now enforced by a CTASSERT.
Correct a bug when the number of pages for external mbufs was
very large. In this case the page number could overflow into the large

how many times this allocation has failed. Note, that we could even
further delay the allocation of the mbuf until we know, that we need it

connections that are currently closing are deleted from the connection
table. When the interface is configured up, all connections that
are in the table are re-opened.
