There's value in keeping softmac separate if we finish the job of moving
the softmac parts that are used by every datalink to mac/dls so that
softmac will only be loaded if there's a need to tie in a legacy DLPI
driver with GLDv3.  That was the original intent of the softmac design,
but it was never quite realized.
