clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.
This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. None are know to
exist today. This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.
Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

Obtained from: OpenBSD (mickey, mcbride)
a packet has VLAN mbuf tag attached. This is faster to check than
m_tag_locate(), and allows us to use the tags in non-vlan(4) VLAN
producers.
The first argument to VLAN_OUTPUT_TAG() is now unused but retained
for backward compatibility.
While here, embellish a fix in rev. 1.174 of if_ethersubr.c -- it
now checks for packets with VLAN (mbuf) tags, and it should now
be possible to bridge(4) on vlan(4)'s whose parent interfaces
support VLAN decapsulation in hardware.

driver did VLAN decapsulation in hardware, we were passing a frame
as if it came for the parent (non-VLAN) interface. Stop this from
happening.

- ip_fw_chk() returns action as function return value. Field retval is
removed from args structure. Action is not flag any more. It is one
of integer constants.
- Any action-specific cookies are returned either in new "cookie" field
in args structure (dummynet, future netgraph glue), or in mbuf tag
attached to packet (divert, tee, some future action).
o Convert parsing of return value from ip_fw_chk() in ipfw_check_{in,out}()
to a switch structure, so that the functions are more readable, and a future
actions can be added with less modifications.

Introduce domain_init_status to keep track of the init status of the domains
list (surprise). 0 = uninitialized, 1 = initialized/unpopulated, 2 =
initialized/done. Higher values can be used to support late addition of
domains which right now "works", but is potential dangerous. I choose to
only give a warning when doing so.
Use domain_init_status with if_attachdomain[1]() to ensure that we have a
complete domains list when we init the if_afdata array. Store the current
value of domain_init_status in if_afdata_initialized. This way we can update
if_afdata after a new protocol has been added (once that is allowed).
