when operating in ap mode. Previously we allocated a node from the
station table, sent the frame (using the node), then released the
reference that "held the frame in the table". But while the frame
was in flight the node might be reclaimed which could lead to
problems. The solution is to add an ieee80211_tmp_node routine
that crafts a node that does exist in a table and so isn't ever
reclaimed; it exists only so long as the associated frame is in flight.

Both portsnap (coming to the base system Real Soon Now) and FreeBSD
Update (coming to the base system a bit later) use bspatch.
This is the same code as the bsdiff-4.2 which has been in the ports
tree (misc/bsdiff) for the past year, with the following exceptions:
1. The license is now the traditional 2-clause BSD;
2. Instead of forking and execing bzip2, the code now uses libbz2; and
3. Some minor changes have been made to fit this code into the base
system (adding $FreeBSD$ tags, putting bsdiff and bspatch into separate
directories, etc.)
This code is rather ugly and has lots of style bugs (mostly because I
wrote it before I had ever heard of style(9)). Some day I'll come
back and clean it up.

vnode is inactivated), possibly leading to a NULL dereference when
checking if the mount wants knotes to be activated in the VOP hooks.
So, we add a new vnode flag VV_NOKNOTE that is only set in getnewvnode(),
if necessary, and check it when activating knotes.
Since the flags are not erased when a vnode is being held, we can safely
read them.

- Add locked versions of the init() and start() methods.
- Use callout_*() rather than timeout().
- Make the driver lock non-recursive.
- Push down locking in detach() and ioctl().
- Fix the tick routine to bail if the interface has been stopped and use
callout_drain() in detach() after the call to stop().
- Lock the driver lock in the ifmedia handlers.

it is running during installations. The vsystem() function does get
used after this happens (e.g. if you manually configure the network
interface and ask it to enable the interface) so it needs to be a
little smarter about whether it uses /stand/sh or /bin/sh.

the internal data bits. This leads to a panic when you eject the card
with this problem.

if_attach(). This allows ethernet drivers to use it in their routines
to program their MAC filters before ether_ifattach() is called (de(4) is
one such driver). Also, the if_addr mutex is destroyed in if_free()
rather than if_detach(), so there was another potential bug in that a
driver that failed during attach and called if_free() without having
called ether_ifattach() would have tried to destroy an uninitialized mutex.
