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.

netisr_queue() now returns (0) on success and ERRNO on failure. At the
moment ENXIO (netisr queue not functional) and ENOBUFS (netisr queue full)
are supported.
Previously it would return (1) on success but the return value of IF_HANDOFF()
was interpreted wrongly and (0) was actually returned on success. Due to this
schednetisr() was never called to kick the scheduling of the isr. However this
was masked by other normal packets coming through netisr_dispatch() causing the
dequeueing of waiting packets.

IPv6 on an sppp interface. In an IPv6-enabled kernel, every IPv6
interface automatically gets an IPv6 address assigned (and IPv6
multicast packets sent at initialization time). For sppp links where
we know our remote peer wouldn't support IPv6 at all, there's no point
in attempting to negotiate IPV6CP (or to even dial out for an IPv6
packet at all for dial-on-demand interfaces).
I wish there were a more generic way to administratively disable IPv6
on an interface instead. ume told me there isn't.
While i was at it, converted both, enable_vj and enable_ipv6 into flag
bits in struct sppp (enable_vj used to be an int of its own).

makes the implied assumption there were another 128 bytes of space in
front of the packet handed off to it... which is not the case for
sppp. This could easily end up in corrupting random memory.
This fix is about the same as revs 1.6, 1.8, and 1.9 from our
i4b_ispppsubr.c.
Also fixed IPCP option negotiation to zero out the options when
starting IPCP. Otherwise, if negotiation parameters change between
various IPCP startups, it could happen that old options would still be
requested (this happened if VJ was turned off, and ended up in half
off the link still negotiating for VJ compression).
IMHO, the base system's sppp is now feature-wise up to date with the
one in the i4b part of the tree, so the latter can be disabled.

Now, instead of the need to include this and that and everything plus
the kitchensink in each of those drivers, struct sppp uses struct
slcompress as an opaque structure only referenced by a pointer. The
actual structure is then malloced at initialization time.
While i was at it, also fixed a bug where received VJ packets would only
be recognized if INET6 was defined.

still accounts for incoming LCP echo packets which it is supposed to
ignore for idle time considerations...)

In retrospect, this is the same fix as the one in rev 1.78 of if_sl.c;
