When we read interface flags and capabilities from the kernel, take

improved modularity and extensibility.
In the new architecture, a directed graph of argument-matching
objects (match objects) expresses the set of feasible ifconfig
statements. Match objects are labelled by subroutines that provide
the statement semantics.
