Hi,

The port net/vde2 uses a ioctl command BIOCFEEDBACK for FreeBSD to allow 
host-guest communication in a vde switch. The attached patch is the initial 
attempt to bring that ioctl command from NetBSD.
It compiles but it's untested until I figure out how to test it.

I'd need some pointers though:

- Is it okay to use directly ifp->if_input directly? Isn't there a mechanism 
similar to the one used in bpfwrite() -> bpf_output_dispatch but for input?
- If it's okay to use ifp->if_input directly, wouldn't it need some locking?

Cheers,
Antonio Huete
