Update netisr handling; Each SWI now registers its queue, and all queue

2003-03-04T23:19:55+00:00

drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control

is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot).  This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago.  More commits to come.
