re: kern/58168: IFF_OACTIVE semantics and replacement plan is unclear

[matthew green <mrg%eterna23.net@localhost>]

in the old method, IFF_OACTIVE is an driver-internal thing to say
"i'm sending a packet".

how it's used is upto each driver.

replacement is to put it into driver-internal data, if you need it,
but it's not always wanted or useful.  as the TODO.smpnet says, it
needs to stop being part of if_flags, but what you do instead is a
driver specific answer.  (perhaps updating TODO.smpnet to say that
the semantics are driver specific would suffice here?)
