free function controlable, instead of passing the KVA of the buffer
storage as the first argument.
Fix all conventional users of the API to pass the KVA of the buffer
as the first argument, to make this a no-op commit.
Likely break the only non-convetional user of the API, after informing
the relevant committer.
Update the mbuf(9) manual page, which was already out of sync on
this point.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how
many arguments a CPP macro needs any other way.
This paves the way for giving sendfile(9) a way to wait for the
passed storage to have been accessed before returning.
This does not affect the memory layout or size of mbufs.

No MFC is anticipated.
IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to
ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for
synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This
helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in
maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued;
some less so.

Kernel toolchain busted on: arm
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.

We put them directly onto the free list instead of calling the
external mbuf free routine (that routine would have cleaned the flag).
This fixes a bug which manifests itself in falsely reporting a lot of used
buffers when configuring the interface down.

to manipulate them in the free routine without having to lock the softc
structure or the free list. To get space for these flags the chunk number
is reduced to 8 bit which amounts to a maximum of 256 chunks per allocated
page. This restriction is now enforced by a CTASSERT.
Correct a bug when the number of pages for external mbufs was
very large. In this case the page number could overflow into the large
buffer flag. Make this more unlikley by move that flag further away.

how many times this allocation has failed. Note, that we could even
further delay the allocation of the mbuf until we know, that we need it

in a later commit.

This fixes a panic under conditions when many mbufs are needed.
Update the head pointer of the receive buffer pool queue even when
we could not supply a buffer to the chip. Otherwise the chip will
not re-interrupt us for another try. A better strategy would probably
be to remember this condition and to supply buffers without an interrupt
as soon as buffers get available.

kept in-sequence (that's how ATM is supposed to work) and
therefor use BUS_DMA_NOWAIT in all calls to bus_dmamap_load.
For memory allocated with bus_dmamem_alloc the use of anything
other than NULL arguments for the locking is anyway bogus because
this memory never should need bouncing and hence the load should never
be defered.
Allow the receipt of OAM and RM cells on raw connections. Caveat: it seems
that RM cells are still processed by the hardware even when we open the
