The full diff is quite large ( about 7 megabytes ). See my dev branch https://github.com/gmshake/freebsd-src/tree/main_if_alloc instead, or I can upload the full diff if requested.

sys/dev/bxe/bxe.c
12988	`if_gethandle()` was introduced in change 62d76917b867 . In FreeBSD net stack it is just a thin wrapper around `if_alloc()`. Since 4787572d0580 is a behavior change, I doubt the net stack of Juniper Networks will follow. Can @glebius comment on that ?

I'm not from Juniper :) I would guess Juniper is fine with the proposed changes. They care about IfAPI hiding 'struct ifnet' better and better as time goes by, they don't have a requirement for the API to be never ever changing. I'll add Stephen to reviewers to correct me.

Looks good. I can't answer the wrapper question definitively, but I suspect it will be fine.

Yes, this change is fine.
