Change 137807 by sam at sam_ebb on 2008/03/15 22:47:59

	fill in missing bits to merge vap's multicast lists into a single
	list for the parent device and call the update method to notify
	the driver it should push the result; note this is prone with
	terrible hackery to workaround bogosity in the ifnet code and
	we still pay a terrible price as we must rebuild the parent's
	mcast list from scratch each time as we have no context to know
	how to optimize work
