mistake.
Remove unneeded MAJOR_AUTO uses, it is only needed explicitly now if the
driver source has cross-branch compatibility to old releases.
branches:
Initialize struct cdevsw using C99 sparse initializtion and remove
all initializations to default values.
This patch is automatically generated and has been tested by compiling
LINT with all the fields in struct cdevsw in reverse order on alpha,
sparc64 and i386.

- add ARC_MAX_DATA, use IF_HANDOFF, remove arc_sprintf() and some unused
variables
- if_simloop logic is made more similar to ethernet
- drop not ours packets early (if we are not in promiscous mode)

function takes a struct ifnet pointer followed by the usual printf
arguments and prints "<interfacename>: " before the results of printf.
Since this is the primary form of printf calls in network device drivers
and accounts for most uses of the ifnet menber if_unit, this
significantly simplifies many printf()s.
Also, for all interfaces in this mode pass all ethernet frames to upper layer,
even those not addressed to our own MAC, which allows packets encapsulated
in those frames be processed with packet filters (ipfw(8) et al).

kernel access control.
Introduce two ioctls, SIOCGIFMAC, SIOCSIFMAC, which permit user
processes to manage the MAC labels on network interfaces. Note
that this is part of the user process API/ABI that will be revised
prior to 5.0-RELEASE.

kernel access control.
Instrument the interface management code so that MAC labels are
properly maintained on network interfaces (struct ifnet). In
particular, invoke entry points when interfaces are created and
removed. MAC policies may initialized the label interface based
on a variety of factors, including the interface name.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

to notify other nodes about the address change. Otherwise, they
might try and keep using the old address until their arp table
entry times out and the address is refreshed.
Maybe this ought to be done for INET6 addresses as well but i have
no idea how to do it. It should be pretty straightforward though.

Have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes ``rt_addrinfo *''
as the argument. Pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest1
and ifa->ifa_rtrequest. 3rd argument of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now
``rt_addrinfo *'' instead of ``sockaddr *'' (almost noone is
using it anyways).
Benefit: the following command now works. Previously we needed
two route(8) invocations, "add" then "change".
