New Revision: 201196
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/201196

Log:
  Change vlan interfaces to cope more usefully with the parent interface being
  renamed.  Previously the vlan interfaces would lose their configuration as if
  the parent interface had been physically removed.  Now vlan interfaces ignore
  rename events.
  - Add a new ifnet flag (IFF_RENAMING) that is set while an ifnet is being
    renamed.  This flag can be checked in ifnet departure/arrival event
    handlers to treat rename events differently.
  - Change the ifnet departure event handler in the if_vlan(4) driver to
    ignore departure events due to a trunk interface being renamed.
