Summary

The common pratice in ethernet device drivers is to fall back to
ether_ioctl() to implement generic ioctls not implemented by the driver
and to fail if no handler exists.

Convert these drivers to follow that practice rather than calling
ether_ioctl() for specific cases.

vxge(4) aready had the default case, but it was only called on failure
to match.

Event Timeline

The goal here is to reduce bad copy-and-paste examples and reduce the number of instances of SIOCGIFADDR and SIOCSIFADDR I need to audit in CheriBSD.
