The MII layer shouldn't care about administrative status of an

interface. Make MII drivers forget about 'struct ifnet'.

Later plan is to provide an administrative downcall from ifnet
layer into drivers, to inform them about administrative status
change. If someone thinks that processing MII events for an
administratively down interface is a big problem, then drivers
would turn MII processing off.

The following MII drivers do evil things, like strcmp() on
driver name, so they still need knowledge of ifnet and thus
include if_var.h. They all need to be fixed:

sys/dev/mii/rgephy.c
sys/dev/mii/truephy.c
