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.

preparation for supporting the OPENVCC and CLOSEVCC ioctls which
are needed for ng_atm. This required some re-organisation of the code
(mostly converting array indexes to pointers). This also gives us
an array of open vccs that will help in using the generic GETVCCS handler.
toggle several media options (sonet/sdh, for example) with ifconfig and
to see the carrier state in ifconfig's output. It gives also read/write
access (given the right privilegs) to the S/Uni registers to user space
programs.
ILMI daemons. Factor out common softc fields for all ATM interfaces that
need to be externally visible into an ifatm structure and make the midway
driver using this structure and fill the MIB.
following changes have been done:
- stylify. The original code was too hard to read.
- get rid of a number of compilation options (Adaptec-only, Eni-only, no-DMA).
- more debugging features.
- locking. This is not correct yet in the absence of interface layer locking,
but is correct enough to not to cause lock order reversals.
- remove RAW mode. There are no users of this in the tree and I doubt that
there are any.
- remove NetBSD compatibility code. There was no way to keep NetBSD non-busdma
and FreeBSD busdma code together.
- if_en now buildable as a module.
This has been actively tested on sparc64 and i386 with ENI server and
client cards and an Adaptec card (thanks to kjc).

also
- sync with netbsd
- fix a bug that miscalculates tx cell counts when the pointer size isn't 4
tested both ENI and Adaptec cards on both i386 and alpha.
several new features are added:
- support vc/vp shaping
- support pvc shadow interface
code cleanup:
- remove WMAYBE related code. ENI WMAYBE DMA doen't work.
- remove updating if_lastchange for every packet.
- BPF related code is moved to midway.c as it should be.
(bpfwrite should work if atm_pseudohdr and LLC/SNAP are
prepended.)
- BPF link type is changed to DLT_ATM_RFC1483.
BPF now understands only LLC/SNAP!! (because bpf can't
handle variable link header length.)
It is recommended to use LLC/SNAP instead of NULL
encapsulation for various reasons. (BPF, IPv6,
interoperability, etc.)
the code has been used for months in ALTQ and KAME IPv6.

FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
