Hello,

this patch implements the Raw Ethernet Packet Sockets in the Free BSD stack.

That is a pretty cool feature which can be found nowhere else.

A fiew minor bugs are fixed too:
  - strict aliasing fixed (IPv6)
  - mbuf leaks
  - multicast output, when no gateway is configured
  - IFF_ALLMULTI changeable
  - added SIOCGIFINDEX as in linux
  - fixed SIOCADDMULTI/SIOCDELMULTI work as in linux
  - error handling in accept() looses socket resource
  - send() behaves different on SS_NBIO and MSG_DONTWAIT
  - packet loss every 20 minutes when ARP timeout expires
  - sbcompress() optimized to create less fragments
