In if_arp.h:
103  * The code is written so that each *_softc _must_ begin with a
104  * struct arpcom, which in turn _must_ begin with a struct ifnet.

It seems to be that this may no longer be the case after luigi's
recent cleanups (IFP2AC() and friends) which I nearly ended up
duplicating.

What say you?
