Emulating ALLMULTI on broken hardware

I think NetBSD may have a more general solution to the problem of handling
the emulation of ALLMULTI on hardware which doesn't support it (such as
the PRISM2 wireless cards).

Discussion of M_PROMISC (new mbuf flag) here:

Perhaps M_PROMISC is a better way of flagging an incoming mbuf as not
being for us when running in IFF_PPROMISC? Or an mbuf tag? Ideas?
