SVN rev 195175 on 2009-06-29 19:46:29Z by brooks
Remove support for the /dev/net/* per-interface devices. They serve
little purpose and are unused in the base system.
The IOCTL functionality is entirely duplicated and routing sockets
provide a richer interface than the kqueue functionality.
Further, it is not practical for these devices to be made sensible in
the face of VIMAGE.
Bump __FreeBSD_version on the off chance that there is any code out
there that actually uses this stuff.
