bf2dcec4f5 Remove the use of splimp() from the NetBSD kernel. splnet()
and only splnet() is allowed for the protection of data structures
used by network devices.

fc96443d15 New callout mechanism with two major improvements over the old
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
  resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
  this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.

The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.

c1185c1020 PRU_PURGEADDR -> PRU_PURGEIF, per a discussion w/ itojun. In the IPv4
and IPv6 code, also use this to traverse PCB tables, looking for cached
routes referencing the dying ifnet, forcing them to be refreshed.

d844a3ac41 First-draft if_detach() implementation, originally from Bill Studnemund,
although this version has been changed somewhat:
- reference counting on ifaddrs isn't as complete as Bill's original
  work was.  This is hard to get right, and we should attack one
  protocol at a time.
- This doesn't do reference counting or dynamic allocation of ifnets yet.
- This version introduces a new PRU -- PRU_PURGEADDR, which is used to
  purge an ifaddr from a protocol.  The old method Bill used didn't work
  on all protocols, and it only worked on some because it was Very Lucky.

This mostly works ... i.e. works for my USB Ethernet, except for a dangling
ifaddr reference left by the IPv6 code; have not yet tracked this down.
