Minor flag day: Nemo Interface Simplification

Subject: Minor flag day: Nemo Interface Simplification

This is a minor flag day for users of (Cap-Eye) Install, bfu, incremental
build, and users of machines with bge or xge network interfaces.

With the putback of:

PSARC 2005/365 Nemo drivers interface simplification
6253542 dld breaks autopush, PPPoE, ipfilter for bge and xge
6246540 race condition between aggr driver detach and create-aggr
6261226 Nemo should use modhash
6272908 in.rarpd no longer works for GLDv3 interfaces
6303082 ill_tx fastpath lacks flow control

The user/kernel interface has changed and (Cap-Eye) Install will break.
Your test machine must be bfu'ed at least once before you can resume
using Install. incremental builds should work provided that the proto
area is deleted first.

the latest bfu will soon be at:

/ws/onnv-gate/public/bin/bfu

failure to use the latest bfu will result in some harmless error messages
at boot-up time.

*WARNING*: If after you've bfu'ed your machine with the latest bits and
you decide to bfu to some older onnv bits, be aware that you must use a
bfu script which does *not* include the latest changes. failure to do so
will cause loss of network connectivity if you happen to have bge or xge
interfaces. to recover, you have to manually run 'dladm init-link' and
restart the net-physical service. once you have regained connectivity,
redo the bfu using the proper bfu script.

please mail gld-iteam at sun dot com if any problems are encountered. bugs may
be filed at the kernel/gld category.
