To any interested parties, here is a patch to review.

This changes all ethernet drivers to only call ether_ifattach()
and ether_ifdetach(), consolidating some common actions, namely,
calls to if_attach(), bpfattach(), ng_ether_attach(), if_detach(),
bpfdetach(), and ng_ether_detach().

This also fixes the problem where detaching an ethernet interface
previously used for ng_ether(4) would panic (which resulted from
fixing the build to not require 'device ether' (which resulted
from making ng_ether(4) a loadable KLD)).

Thanks,
-Archie
