external storage. Highlights:
- additional "void *" argument to (*ext_free)(), an opaque
cookie for use by the free function.
- MCLALLOC() and MCLFREE() calls are gone. They are replaced
by MEXTADD() (add external storage to mbuf), MEXTMALLOC()
(malloc() external storage and attach to mbuf), and
MEXTREMOVE() (remove external storage from mbuf).
- completely new external storage reference counting
mechanism; mclrefcnt[] is gone.
These changes will eventually be used to pass driver DMA buffers up
the network stack, and reduce/eliminate copies in certain code paths
(e.g. NFS writes).

can make one too. This will break on Makefiles that have both INCS and SUBDIRS,
so then we'll need to change includes: to includes::, but we don't have any
yet.
- Fix globbing so that patterns that don't have a matching number of [] or {}
don't get expanded. (before the [ case got expanded to nothing!) This is
disabled.
particularly older ones, don't do a SAVE DATA POINTER before disconnecting.
When the driver reconnects, it does an implicit RESTORE POINTERS, and
restores the data pointer from *before* the last transfer. If the driver
calculates the residual using the data pointer and doesn't account for
this, the residual will be wrong.
What we do is test for the SDEV_AUTOSAVE quirk when we see a disconnect
message, falling through to do a SAVE DATA POINTER if the quirk applies
to this target.
The workaround was suggested by Mycroft, who also provided the explanation
of the problem. Actual code was (mostly) ripped off from the 53C9x driver.
