Log:
  Allocate a struct ifreq rather than using a (wrong) computed size for
  the BIOCSETIF ioctl.
  
  The kernel always copies an entire struct ifreq and IPv4 addresses will
  always fit in an ifreq.
  
  On systems with pointers larger than 64-bits, the computed size will be
  less than the size of struct ifreq, potentially resulting in the kernel
  attempting to copyin memory from outside the allocation.
