Sam Leffler 5120abbfb4 Drop the driver lock around calls to if_input to avoid a LOR when
the packets are immediately returned for sending (e.g.  when bridging
or packet forwarding).  There are more efficient ways to do this
but for now use the least intrusive approach.

Brooks Davis 9bf40ede4a Replace the if_name and if_unit members of struct ifnet with new members
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.

Bill Paul af8512b863 Remove unnecessary #include of brgphyreg.h, left over from when Stuart used
the bge(4) driver as a template.

Bill Paul b9f78d2b4a Add a device driver for the Broadcom BCM4401 ethernet controller,
written by Stuart Walsh and Duncan Barclay (with some kibbitzing by
me). I'm checking it in on Stuart's behalf.

The BCM4401 is built into several x86 laptop and desktop systems. For the
moment, I have only enabled it in the x86 kernel config because although
it's a PCI device, I haven't heard of any standalone NICs that use it. If
somebody knows of one, we can easily add it to the other arches.

This driver uses register/structure data gleaned from the Linux
driver released by Broadcom, but does not contain any of the code
from the Linux driver itself. It uses busdma.
