Wlock()'ing the ifc causes a deadlock with Medium
bind/unbind as the routine can walk /net, while
ndb/dns or ndb/cs are currently blocked enumerating
/net/ipifc/*.
The fix is to have a fake medium, called "unbound",
that is set temporarily during the call of Medium
bind and unbind.
That way, the interface rwlock can be released while
bind/unbind is in progress.
The ipifcunbind() routine will refuse to unbind a
ifc that is currently assigned to the "unbound"
medium, preventing any accidents.

Instead of having to do an arp hash table lookup for each
outgoing ip packet, forward the Routehint pointer to the
medium's bwrite() function and let it cache the arp entry
pointer.
This avoids route and arp hash table lookups for tcp, il
and connection oriented udp.
It also allows us to avoid multiple route and arp table
lookups for the retransmits once an arp/neighbour solicitation
response arrives.

packet media is just raw ip packets, so theres no link-level
header there. was probably copy-pasted from ethermedium...

in Dev.bwrite()
the convention for Dev.bwrite() is that it accepts a *single* block,
and not a block chain. so we never have concatblock here.
to keep stuff consistent, we also guarantee thet Medium.bwrite()
will get a *single* block passed as well, as the callers are
few in number.
