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.

do the subsequent ip_output() in IPFW. In ipfw_tick(), the keep-alive
packets must be generated from the data that resides under the
stateful lock, but they must not be sent at that time, as this would
cause a lock order reversal with the normal ordering (interface's
lock, then locks belonging to the pfil hooks).
In practice, this caused deadlocks when using IPFW and if_bridge(4)
together to do stateful transparent filtering.

that if we sort the incoming SACK blocks, we can update the scoreboard
in one pass of the scoreboard. The added overhead of sorting upto 4
sack blocks is much lower than traversing (potentially) large
scoreboards multiple times. The code was updating the scoreboard with
multiple passes over it (once for each sack option). The rewrite fixes
that, reducing the complexity of the main loop from O(n^2) to O(n).

or to compute the total retransmitted bytes in this sack recovery
episode, the scoreboard is traversed. While in sack recovery, this
traversal occurs on every call to tcp_output(), every dupack and
every partial ack. The scoreboard could potentially get quite large,
making this traversal expensive.
This change optimizes this by storing hints (for the next hole to
retransmit and the total retransmitted bytes in this sack recovery
episode) reducing the complexity to find these values from O(n) to
constant time.
The debug code that sanity checks the hints against the computed
value will be removed eventually.
