You might want to consider using MTX_SYSINIT() to initialize your mutex 
instead of manually doing it in your module handler routine.  Either that or 
go ahead and push the calls to mtx_init() and mtx_destroy() into ef_load() 
and ef_unload() so all the load stuff happens in one function, etc.

Might also want to check for whitespace breakage in your diffs.  In 
ef_detach() you replaced the empty line before ether_ifdetach() with a line 
that contains just a tab.
