The other "obvious" method is to rearrange the sysinit priorities (/sys/sys/kernel.h) so that all network domains are initialized before invoking the device configuration code -- moving SI_SUB_PROTO* before SI_CONFIGURE -- but presumably this idea was tried and rejected earlier and hence the code in ether_ifattach to check the same global variable.
