bus_setup_intr() kernel API seems to have either changed or handled
differently in 7.0.  I believe you can add a NULL after the flags
(INTR_MPSAFE) which tells BSD to use the standard interrupt handler
instead of a top-level handler.

_ac_enaddr is because arpcom as defined in net/if_arp.h no longer
exists.  Typically the protocol bits are stuffed in if_l2com (layer
2).

I made the macro in net_compat.h

#define VXN_SC2ENADDR(softc)        (IF_LLADDR(VXN_SC2IFP(softc))

and then removed the "&" from both references in if_vxn.c as this
macro already returns a pointer to char.

That got me past this problem.  Btw, this isn't an official port since
I didn't really rectify the net_compat.h stuff (I suppose you could
make the 600000 to 700055, etc.).

I'm still getting some further issues with vnodeops and vfsops with
some modules (I believe vops_lcok should be vops_lock1) but I don't
know about the other problem.
