Add deprecation notices for various device drivers removed in 12.0.

2017-07-12T22:16:54+00:00

This is a direct commit to stable/10 since these files have already
been removed in head.

MFC r259886:

 Bite the bullet and start removing the first compile time warnings
 by removing unsued file local functions and then unused callees.
 A lot more warnings to resolve but someone had to break the ice.

 X-Comment:	I am not the new maintainer; chime in, it's ours.

Mechanically substitute flags from historic mbuf allocator with

malloc(9) flags in sys/dev.

Free result of device_get_children(9).

Isolate v_caddr_t in the ie driver.

queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs.  This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

Use the new bus device_shutdown hook for performing the shutdown action

that wasn't being torn down on detach.

Rename the ie_EE16 module to just 'ie' so that at least one of the modules

for this driver is called 'ie'.  Otherwise, ifconfig(8) doesn't recognize
any of the modules as being the ie(4) driver and will always try to kldload
the driver even when it is already present in the kernel.
