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.

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.

instead of int where the variable has to hold buffer lengths,
use u_int for things like number of network interfaces which
in principle can never be negative.
These were a left over from when the private memory pools were
converted to use uma zones. The limit of UMA zones, however,
works differently. When a zone is limited to only one or two pages
than, on multi-cpu systems, processes can get stuck on the zonelimit,
because all remaining free items are in caches of other CPUs.
Also add rudimentary error handling in some places (panic) when a zone
cannot be created.

I have run src/tools/tools/kerninclude to remove 1239 clearly
unneeded #includes reducing the total from 3524 includes to 2285.

unifdef -Usun -D__FreeBSD__ we will probably never support sun4c
and if we do we can't use the solaris code anyway and I doubt
anybody will be running Fore ATM cards in then in the first place.
for possible buffer overflow problems. Replaced most sprintf()'s
with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.
