The majority of modern drivers never does this and works fine, which
makes me think that the check is totally unnecessary and a residue
of cut&paste from other drivers.
This change is done to simplify locking because now almost none of the
drivers uses this field. The exceptions are "ct" "ctau" and "cx"
where i am not sure if i can remove that part.

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.

such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)

Also, move towards bus space by introducing new macros/inline
functions which make such a move much easier than before.
These inline functions are setup now to work around an IBM EtherJet
pccard cardbus bridge incompatibility. The card works in 8 bit mode,
but not in 16-bit mode when it is connected to a cardbus bridge for
reasons unknown. The Linux driver also has a similar workaround in
it.
Future work will include making the above workaround runtime
conditional rather than compile time conditional, as well as fixing
the interrupts in pccards and converting it to bus space.

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.
The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.

This means that we will not have to have a bpf and a non-bpf version
of our driver modules.
This does not open any security hole, because the bpf core isn't loadable

Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.

At using tcpdump for cs interface, tcpdump only dump packet which
src or dst MAC-address is cs interface. cs interface can't look up

Add a sysctl 'machdep.cs_recv_delay' to specify how long to wait after
receiving a packet in order to check for a subsequent (back-to-back)
packet. The cs8900 has a very small receive buffer, so this helps avoid
overflows at the cost of some extra CPU overhead.
