[newlib 17/65] Although most of the NIC drivers are epoch ready,

[Sebastian Huber]

From: Gleb Smirnoff <glebius at FreeBSD.org>

due to peer pressure switch over to opt-in instead of opt-out for epoch.

Instead of IFF_NEEDSEPOCH, provide IFF_KNOWSEPOCH. If driver marks
itself with IFF_KNOWSEPOCH, then ether_input() would not enter epoch
when processing its packets.

Now this will create recursive entrance in epoch in >90% network
drivers, but will guarantee safeness of the transition.

Mark several tested drivers as IFF_KNOWSEPOCH.
