renegotiation, we only initialize the hardware only when it is
absolutely required. Process SIOCGIFADDR ioctl in em(4) when we know
an IPv4 address is added. Handling SIOCGIFADDR in a driver is
layering violation but it seems that there is no easy way without
rewritting hardware initialization code to reduce settle time after
reset.
This should fix a long standing bug which didn't send ARP packet when
interface address is changed or an alias address is added. Another
effect of this fix is it doesn't need additional delays anymore when
adding an alias address to the interface.
While I'm here add a new if_flags into softc which remembers current
prgroammed interface flags and make use of it when we have to program
promiscuous mode.

- If the WNOWAIT flag isn't specified and either of WEXITED or WTRAPPED is
set, then just call kern_wait() and let it do all the work. This means
that this function no longer has to duplicate the work to teardown
zombies that is done in kern_wait(). Instead, if the above conditions
aren't true, then it uses a simpler loop to implement WNOWAIT and/or
tracing for only stopped or continued processes. This function still
has to duplicate code from kern_wait() for the latter two cases, but
those are much simpler.
- Sync the code to handle the WCONTINUED and WSTOPPED cases with the
equivalent code in kern_wait().
- Fix several places that would return with the proctree lock still held.
- Lock the current process to prevent lost wakeup races when blocking.
that the only remove hook operation that can occur while processing the
hooks is to remove the currently executing hook. This should be safe as
the existing code has assumed this already for a long time now.

( and where appropriate the destruction) of the pcb mutex to the init/finit
functions of the pcb zones.
This allows locking of the pcb entries and race condition free comparison
of the generation count.
Rearrange locking a bit to avoid extra locking operation to update the generation
count in in_pcballoc(). (in_pcballoc now returns the pcb locked)
I am planning to convert pcb list handling from a type safe to a reference count
model soon. ( As this allows really freeing the PCBs)

important for embedded systems. This change was done in a ABI compatible
way. The pointer is still there, it just points to an empty string instead
of the description.

pmap_clear_ptes() is already convoluted. This will worsen with the
implementation of superpages. Eliminate it and add pmap_clear_write().

- Copy ethernet firmware down in small chunks so as to avoid bugs
in early versions of the bootstrap firmware.
- Attempt to "adopt" the running firmware if we cannot load a suitable
firmware image via firmware(9).
- Separate firmware validation into its own routine, and check the
major/minor driver/firmware ABI version.
instead of doing the first load with the BUS_DMA_NOWAIT flag. On 4.x with
PAE and > 4gb of RAM this proved disastrous if there weren't enough bounce
pages as amr_mapcmd() would return failure but the callback would later
fire once enough bounce pages were available and would then overwrite
another command's S/G list.
