If sysfs is not available, you might still be able to create bond
interfaces, but only in very specific configurations, and you must have
the ifenslave binary instead to call ioctls.

If the kernel is NFS-booting, it is critical that we don't down the
slave interfaces when we activate the bond. To do so will break the root
filesystem when networking is temporarily lost.

The 'dev' argument is only optional for ethX devices, for others it is
mandatory, so we should always include it.
Also tweak when promisc mode is applied to bridges.

sysfs needs to be available before we can check interfaces. On udev
systems this was not a problem, but with mdev/static-dev, there is no
other need for sysfs until later in the init.

On linux systems running >=linux-3.2, the /proc/net/dev file cannot be
relied on to show the order network interfaces were added to the system.
Also, there is currently a bug in the implementation of the seek call
for this file which can cause a system to go into an infinite loop.
This commit changes the _ifindex function to retreive the value of
/sys/class/net/${IFACE}/ifindex and use that value instead of attempting
to calculate one from the interface's position in /proc/net/dev.

The location of the ifconfig binary has changed in

The previous bonding change of ensuring interfaces were down to add
slave interfaces, but it clobbered the IFACE variable, because it was
being passed to a bash function rather than a command.

The program function in depend blocks is now able to search paths by
itself. If passed multiple arguments or multiple calls, at least one of
the arguments passed must be a program or a shell builtin (eg ip built
into busybox). If a qualified path is specified, only that path will be
checked, otherwise it will be checked as a builtin, then $PATH will be
checked for the named binary (via type).

This test is incorrect, and we do not need the modprobe. If macvlan is a
module, it is automatically modprobed when the first macvlan link is
added. Also, the /sys directory referred to in the test does not exist
if macvlan is built into the kernel.

Since commit 683a21b0a in Feburary 2011, iproute2 has been required for
new VLAN configuration. MACVLAN is also impossible to configure without
iproute2. However we did not check if iproute2 was actually in the
modules for a given interface, so it could end up hanging or giving
weird errors. Check for iproute2 before usage now.

We need to create interfaces of custom names before we can sucessfully
start them. To do this, we have to add tunnels during prestart instead
of start. Split up the ip6to4 script to do this, saving the computed
variables for use in start with the new service data commands.

Several of the optional flags were not being handled correctly, they
were being passed as values only, without the keyword before them.

Also change the handling of keywords to a common setup now, making
broadcast and peer strings the same as the above keywords.
