	The man page for bpf(4) says BPF supports the SIOCGIFADDR icotl, but
	the code in src/sys/net/bpf.c doesn't do so.  It looks like that code
	was deliberately omitted in 1997 (rev 1.36).

 I verified that "src/sys/net/bpf.c" indeed lacks SIOCGIFADDR and that a
 small test program fails with Invalid argument.

 Could this be closed with the following diff?
