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.

pessmize the error recover path through edintr by calling these
functions, rather than expanding it inline. This error path already
does a lot in it, so an extra function call will be lost in the noise.
It also happens rarely.
and wd80x3 support. Make the obscure ISA cards optional, and add
those options to NOTES on i386 (note: the ifdef around the whole code
is for module building). Tweak pc98 ed support to include wd80x3 too.
Add goo for alpha too.
The affected cards are the 3Com 3C503, HP LAN+ and SIC (whatever that
is). I couldn't find any of these for sale on ebay, so they are
untested. If you have one of these cards, and send it to me, I'll
ensure that you have no future problems with it...
Minor cleanups as well by using functions rather than cut and paste
code for some probing operations (where the function call overhead is
lost in the noise).
Remove use of kvtop, since they aren't required anymore. This driver
needs to get its memory mapped act together, however, and use bus
space. It doesn't right now.
This reduces the size of if_ed.ko from about 51k to 33k on my laptop.
Make the special hp versions match the general ones. Also use fixed
types in the WD80x3_generic probe, and change callers' arrays to
match. Fix a couple of minor style issues by using newstyle function
definitions in a couple places.
if_ed and rename it to ed_detach(). Tell other busses to use this
routine for detach.
Since I don't actually have any non-pccard ed hardware I can test
with, I've only tested with my pccards.
More improvements in this area likely are possible.

if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

this is a bus dependent code. But the ed driver code is not
separated explicitly whether it is bus dependent or independent
now.

bolted to a ne-2000 chip. This is necessary for the NetGear FA-410TX
and other cards.
This also requires you add mii to your kernel if you have an ed driver
configured.
This code will result in a couple of timeout messages for ed on the
impacted cards. Additional work will be needed, but this does work
right now, and many people need these cards.

o Move the ax88190 code to its own function.
o Move all device_method_t, driver_t and DRIVER_MODULE definitions to the
end of files.
o Wrap a few lines > 80 characters.
o Use the same devclass for all ed drivers. This allows machines with
multiple types of cards to have their cards numbered correctly. Before,
you could wind up with two ed0's.
o Protect if_edvar.h from multiple includes because I was there.
o Expose ed_stop and call it early to shutdown the hardware.
o When releasing the interrupt, pass the cookie for the irq, not
a pointer to the cookie (this is the base problem).
o Release other resources used, just like the ep driver
now lives in the respective bus front end files.
- Add various function prototypes to if_edvar.h
- Clean up some debugging code that snuck into if_ed_isa.c
- Turn on the right bits in files.i386
