Patch for if_gif(4).

First, I want to apologize for my bad English, because I'm not a native
speaker.

Should not all packets processed by gif_output be deleted, when an running
instance of if_gif(4) is member of an instance of if_bridge(4)?

This question opened to me as I tried to understand the internal structure of
gif_transmit in the context of encapsulating Ethernet frames as service data
units of EtherIP prtocol. 

If I understood correctly, then gif_transmit would be called by bridge_enqueue
at runtime, if an instance of if_gif(4) is member interface of if_bridge(4)?
