  SVN rev 181690 on 2008-08-13 15:41:21Z by ed
  
  Change bpf(4) to use the cdevpriv API.
  
  Right now the bpf(4) driver uses the cloning API to generate /dev/bpf%u.
  When an application such as tcpdump needs a BPF, it opens /dev/bpf0,
  /dev/bpf1, etc. until it opens the first available device node. We used
  this approach, because our devfs implementation didn't allow
  per-descriptor data.
  
  Now that we can, make it use devfs_get_cdevpriv() to obtain the private
  data. To remain compatible with the existing implementation, add a
  symlink from /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf. I've already changed libpcap to
  compile with HAVE_CLONING_BPF, which makes it use /dev/bpf. There may be
  other applications in the base system (dhclient) that use the loop to
  obtain a valid bpf.
