Deprecate MCLGET() in favor of m_getcl() or m_getl() in order to

Rewrite the polling code. Instead of trying to do fancy polling enablement
from inside the IF interrupt itself, which creates a headache in the code,
simply allow IFF_POLLING to be set and cleared via ifconfig. This greatly
simplifies both the networking code and the polling code and allows polling
to be enabled and disabled at will on a per-network-interface basis.

* Drivers no longer have to have polling checks in the interrupt path.
* An if_poll function vector has been added. Polling is supported if the
driver initializes the vector.
* Registration command added to the poll function command list.
* Driver code for registration and deregistration is now greatly simplified.

The kernel polling code no longer randomly turns off the polling bit if an
interface goes down or is reset.

Remove IFCAP_POLLING, it serves no purpose.

Fix a couple of bugs in the serializer code. Add a warning in
nexus_setup_intr if a driver tries to specify a serializer and an SPL.
A driver can specify one or the other, not both.

Convert the EM driver to use the new serializer API instead of SPLs.

Add ifconfig poll and ifconfig -poll support to ifconfig, and fix bugs
in the rtsock code that only returned the low 16 bits of the interface
flags so ifconfig properly reports when polling mode is turned on for an
interface.

NOTE to people using polling. You must first enable polling via
kern.polling.enable, and then may specify the 'poll' directive in ifconfig
to enable it on a per interface basis. If IFF_POLLING refuses to be set,
the device does not support polling.

Get rid of bus_{disable,enable}_intr(), it wasn't generic enough for
our needs.

Implement some generic atomic.h functions to aid in the implementation of
a low level mutex.

Implement a generic low level sleep-mutex serializer, kern/lwkt_serialize.c.
The serializer is designed to be a replacement for SPL calls but may also
be used for other very low level work (e.g. lockmgr interlocks).

Add a serializer argument to BUS_SETUP_INTR(). When non-NULL, the interrupt
handler will no longer be protected by an SPL so e.g. spl*() will no
longer protect against that device's interrupts.

The IF queueing and dequeueing mechanisms may no longer depend on outside
SPL state because network driver interrupt handlers are no longer required to
enter splnet(). Use critical sections for the moment. The IFQ and
IFF_OACTIVE interactions are not yet MP safe.

Unify the input handling of the low-level network stack by introducing
a new field if_input in struct ifnet.

Initialize if_input and if_output in the low-level _ifattach routines.

Make the _output and _input routines static, they are now called via
(*ifp->if_input) and (*ifp->if_output) accordingly. The exception is
ether_input which is still used with the second argument, the pointer
to the Ethernet header instead of always taking it from the mbuf.

Move the if_attach and bpfattach from the devices into fddi_ifattach,
atm_ifattach.

Remove the first argument to VLAN_INPUT_TAG, the pointer to the
Ethernet header. Expect it at the beginning of the mbuf.

Adjust the network for the changed API. Exceptions are wl(4), le(4),
ie(4), el(4), ed(4) and de(4), because they use a on-stack Ethernet
header. Another exception is the ATM stack, which uses a fourth argument
to atm_input.
