there's not dependencies on pccard symboles, such a dependency is not
necessary. This means that drivers that have multiple attachments can
not drag bogus devices into the kernel at load time.
We can't (yet) do this with pci and isa. Drivers written for them
actually do seem to have symbols that depend on these busses'
implementation code.

- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
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.)

rolled versions wherever applicable.

o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls
