event handler, dev_clone, which accepts a credential argument.
Implementors of the event can ignore it if they're not interested,
and most do. This avoids having multiple event handler types and
fall-back/precedence logic in devfs.
This changes the kernel API for /dev cloning, and may affect third
party packages containg cloning kernel modules.

-Introduce net.bpf.stats sysctl OID
-Move sysctl variables after the function prototypes so we can
reference bpf_stats_sysctl(9) without build errors.
-Introduce bpf descriptor counter which is used mainly for sizing
of the xbpf_d array.
-Introduce a xbpf_d structure which will act as an external
representation of the bpf_d structure.
-Add a the following members to the bpfd structure:
bd_fcount - Number of packets which matched bpf filter
bd_pid - PID which opened the bpf device
bd_pcomm - Process name which opened the device.
It should be noted that it's possible that the process which opened
the device could be long gone at the time of stats collection. An
example might be a process that opens the bpf device forks then exits
leaving the child process with the bpf fd.

- Introducing the possibility of using locks different than mutexes
for the knlist locking. In order to do this, we add three arguments to
knlist_init() to specify the functions to use to lock, unlock and
check if the lock is owned. If these arguments are NULL, we assume
mtx_lock, mtx_unlock and mtx_owned, respectively.
- Using the vnode lock for the knlist locking, when doing kqueue operations
on a vnode. This way, we don't have to lock the vnode while holding a

a DLT_NULL interface. In particular:
1) Consistently use type u_int32_t for the header of a
DLT_NULL device - it continues to represent the address
family as always.
2) In the DLT_NULL case get bpf_movein to store the u_int32_t
in a sockaddr rather than in the mbuf, to be consistent
with all the DLT types.
3) Consequently fix a bug in bpf_movein/bpfwrite which
only permitted packets up to 4 bytes less than the MTU
to be written.
4) Fix all DLT_NULL devices to have the code required to
allow writing to their bpf devices.
5) Move the code to allow writing to if_lo from if_simloop
to looutput, because it only applies to DLT_NULL devices
but was being applied to other devices that use if_simloop
possibly incorrectly.

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 BPF descriptor lock really needs to change into a reader/writer
lock that controls access to "settings," and a mutex that controls
access to the selinfo/knote/callout. Also, use of callout_drain()
instead of callout_stop() (which is really a much more widespread
issue).
BPFD_LOCK() when removing a descriptor from an interface descriptor

This appears to close a race that resulted in the kernel performing
a NULL pointer dereference when BPF sessions are detached during
heavy network activity on SMP systems.
