Summary

Now that if_alloc_domain() never fails and actually doesn't
expose ifnet to outside we can eliminate IFNET_HOLD and two
step index allocation.

Event Timeline

Apart from the suggestion this looks fine.

sys/net/if.c

idx here could right away be ifp->ifindex like it is done in if_vmove() further down and then the new "assignment" in ifnet_setbyindex() doesn't have to be there either as it is not related to that function (it is the reverse).

sys/net/if.c

That's what next revisions do. Collapse ifindex_alloc, ifnet_setbyindex and if_grow.
