>Description:
I'd like to add a pfil_hook in if_ethersubr.c, similar to the one in NetBSD, but
vnet_pfil_init() happens AFTER ether_ifattach(), so the filter registered in 
either_ifattach()is lost when vnet_pfil_init() invokes 
LIST_INIT(&V_pfil_head_list).

>How-To-Repeat:
Build a kernel that registers a pfil_hook in ether_ifattach() and load a module 
that tries to use that filter.  OR --- look at the code and take my word for it.
>Fix:
Unknown --- maybe change order of execution.
