Before this patch, curvnet was NULL.
When the VIMAGE kernel option is enabled, this eliminates
kernel panics when USB ethernet devices are plugged in.

The SYSCTL_NODE macro defines a list that stores all child-elements of
that node. If there's no SYSCTL_DECL macro anywhere else, there's no
reason why it shouldn't be static.
handler such that driver can announce interface capabilities and
can do its own MII attach. Currently all USB ethernet controllers
have no way to establish a link with pause capabilities. Lack of
checksum offloading support also was one of reason to bring this
change in.
This change adds a couple of wrappers to USB ethernet drivers
(uether_ifmedia_upd, uether_init and uether_start). All exported
functions in uether has prefix uether_ so I think it's more
consistent to have wrappers that follow the convention.
This change preserves ABI/KPI so it should be safe to merge this
change to stable/8.
While I'm here add missing __FBSDID and clean up headers.

instead of updating if_ierrors counter.
queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.
Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.
For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.
Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.
