Some ifnet types have private structures that have trouble surviving 
if_detach()/if_attach() sequence called externaly on them.  For example 
802.11 ifnets typically hold bpf handles hidden somwhere inside their 
private state, and thus cannot be easily moved around vnets without 
modifying the drivers, and that is what I wish to avoid...  For some 
other ifnets, say ppp(4) or sl(4), I'm not sure it would make much 
sense to reassign them from one vnet to another; others like gif/gre 
might need special handling to ensure "outer" and "inner" addresses 
live in proper vnets, until this is addressed properly I thought it 
might be better to disallow moving of such ifnets around vnets...
