making sk(4) solid.

the device is suspended or shutting down. This will need to be rethought
slightly if we implement suspend/resume support within vr(4).
This appears to fix the vr_shutdown() panic on SMP machines.
My theory here is there's a race somewhere during vr_detach() with
vr_intr() in the SMP case which was sometimes being triggered,
although quite why this was happening is unclear (vr_stop() also
explicitly disables interrupts by writing to the IMR register).

variable. If set to "true" OF_getetheraddr() will now return the unique
MAC address stored in the "local-mac-address" property of the device's
OFW node if present and the host address/system default MAC address if
the node doesn't doesn't have such a property. If set to "false" the
host address will be returned for all devices like before this change.
This brings the behaviour of device drivers for NICs with OFW support/
FCode, i.e. dc(4) for on-board DM9102A on Sun machines, gem(4) and hme(4),
regarding "local-mac-address?" in line with NetBSD and Solaris.
The man pages of the respective drivers will be updated separately to
reflect this change.
