starts with an ifatm which in turns has an ifnet. Remove also a couple
of unneccessary casts that could hide such things in the future.

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.

on it in hopes of making sure that the waitq was empty before going on.
This wasn't needed and probably never would have worked as intended. Now
that cv_waitq_empty() and friends are gone, the code in these drivers that
spins on it can go away too. This should unbreak LINT.

if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
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.

with a ProATM-155 and an IDT evaluation board and should also work
with a ProATM-25 (it seems to work at least, I cannot really measure
what the card emits). The driver has been tested on i386 and sparc64,
but should work an other archs also. It supports UBR, CBR, ABR and VBR;
AAL0, AAL5 and AALraw. As an additional feature VCI/VPI 0/0 can be
opened for receiving in AALraw mode and receives all cells not claimed
by other open VCs (even cells with invalid GFC, VPI and VCI fields and
OAM cells).
Thanks to Christian Bucari from ProSum for lending two cards and answering
my questions.
