identify sockaddr_dl abuse that remains in the kernel, especially
the potential for overwriting memory past the end of a sockaddr_dl
with, e.g., memcpy(LLADDR(), ...).
USB problems - just return in detach if the softc appears not to be
filled in completely.
(This is a common problem with usb and probably other drivers which
support detach; we need some API support to deal with this cleanly.)
matching (and handling) a whole device and those which match an
interface only. This will allow to enforce some rules, eg that
the former don't use interface information for matching or that the
latter don't modify global device state.
The previous way left too much freedom do the drivers which led to
inconsistencies and abuse.
For now, I've not changed locators and submatch rules, this will
happen later.
There should not be any change in behaviour, except in the case of
some drivers which did behave inconsistently:
if_atu, if_axe, uep: matched the configured device in the interface
stage, but did configuration again. I've converted them to match
in the device stage.
ustir, utoppy: matched in the interface stage, but only against
vendor/device information, and used any configuration/interface
without checking. Changed to match in device stage, and added
some simple code to configure and use the first interface.
If you have one of those devices, please test!
