New Revision: 321317
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/321317

Log:
  Do not allow the use of the loopback interface in netmap.
  
  The generic support in netmap send the packets using if_transmit() and the
  loopback do not support packets coming from if_transmit()/if_start().
  
  This avoids the use of the loopback interface and the subsequent crash that
  happens when the application send packets to the loopback interface.
