This calls ioctl() handlers for the different interfaces in the bridge.
These handlers expect to get called in an ioctl context where it's safe
for them to sleep. We may not sleep with the bridge lock held.
However, we still need to protect the interface list, to ensure it
doesn't get changed while we iterate over it.
Use BRIDGE_XLOCK(), which prevents bridge members from being removed.
Adding bridge members is safe, because it uses LIST_INSERT_HEAD().
This caused panics when adding xen interfaces to a bridge.

dropped until an existing host cache entry expires or is removed. Useful to
use with the STICKY cache option.

communicate with another private port.
All unicast/broadcast/multicast layer2 traffic is blocked so it works much the
same way as using firewall rules but scales better and is generally easier as
firewall packages usually do not allow ARP blocking.
An example usage would be having a number of customers on separate vlans
bridged with a server network. All the vlans are marked private, they can all
communicate with the server network unhindered, but can not exchange any
traffic whatsoever with each other.

bridged, previously legitimate traffic was not passed as the bridge could not
tell that it was on a different Ethernet segment.
All non-tagged traffic is treated as vlan1 as per IEEE 802.1Q-2003
of the bridge port and path cost have been administratively set or
calculated automatically by RSTP.
Make sure to transition from non-edge to edge when the port goes down
and the edge flag was manually set before.
This is needed to comply with the condition
((!portEnabled && AdminEdge) || ....)
in the Bridge Detection State Machine (IEE802.1D-2004, p. 171).

- use flags rather than sperate ioctls for edge, p2p
- implement p2p and autop2p flags
- define large pathcost constant as ULL
- show bridgeid and rootid in ifconfig

address learned by the bridge is made permanent, the address will not age out
and most importantly will not migrate to another interface.
This can be used to stop mac address poisoning or clients roaming in much the
same way as static entries without the hassle of preloading the table.
RSTP provides faster spanning tree convergence, the protocol will exchange
information with neighboring switches to quickly transition to forwarding
without creating loops. The code will default to RSTP mode but will downgrade
any port connected to a legacy STP network so is fully backward compatible.

restored when its removed from the bridge.
At the moment we only clear IFCAP_TXCSUM. Since a locally generated packet on
the bridge may be sent out any one or more interfaces it cant be assumed that
every card does hardware csums. Most bridges don't generate a lot of traffic
themselves so turning off offloading won't hurt, bridged packets are
unaffected.

softc lists and associated mutex are now unused so these have been removed.
Calling if_clone_detach() will now destroy all the cloned interfaces for the
driver and in most cases is all thats needed to unload.

- remove unneeded functions from if_bridgevar.h and sort a little.
hooks for each outgoing interface but also run pfil hooks _N times_ on the
bridge interface. This is changed so pfil hooks are run once for the bridge
interface (bridge0) and then only on the outgoing interfaces in the broadcast
loop.
- Simplify bridge_enqueue() by moving bridge_pfil() to the callers.
- Check (inet6_pfil_hook.ph_busy_count >= 0), it may be possible to have a
packet filter hooked for only ipv6 but we were only checking if ipv4 hooks
were busy.
- Minor optimisation for null mbuf check after bridge_pfil(), move it into the
if-block as it couldnt possibly be null outside.

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.
