which means "always stay in the standard mode of PPPoE operation
regardless of any junk floating around."
As the referenced PR stated clearly, the old default setting of 0
was extremely dangerous because it opened a possibility for a
spurious frame not only to put down a single PPPoE node running
FreeBSD, but to plague *every* FreeBSD node in a PPPoE network in
such a way that those nodes would keep poisoning each other until
rebooted simultaneously.

nonstandard. They differ in the values of certain fields in
the PPPoE frame. Previously, ng_pppoe would start in standard
mode, yet switch to nonstandard one upon reception of a single
nonstandard frame. After having done so, ng_pppoe would be unable
to interact with standard PPPoE peers. Thus, a DoS condition
existed that could be triggered by a buggy peer or malicious party.
Since few people have expressed their displeasure WRT this problem,
the default operation of ng_pppoe is left untouched for now. However,
a new value for the sysctl net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe is introduced,
-1, which will force ng_pppoe stay in standard mode regardless of any
bogus frames floating around.

equipment from idiot suppliers (rumour says 3com)
who use nonstandard ethertypes can still connect.

the standard, but sure it's pppoe!"
sysctl -w net.graph.stupid_isp=1 enables the changeover.

Use this support in the ethernet and sample nodes.
Add some more abstraction on the 'item's so that node and
hook reference counting can be checked easier.
Slight man page correction.
Make pppoe type dependent on ethernet type.

This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)

control field compression. The ng_ppp(4) node correctly follows this
rule. However, PPPoE is an exception: when doing PPPoE *all* frames
are sent with address and control field compression.
Alter this node's behavior so that when an outgoing frame is received,
any leading address and control field bytes are removed. This makes
this node compatible with ng_ppp(4).
