[patch] taking M_PROMISC from netbsd

Hi, I've (tried) to import M_PROMISC from netbsd, as suggested in project Dingo. There is not much difference from manuel bouyer's patch (see http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2003/03/19/0001.html and http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2003/03/25/0020.html) I've made the patch again

Question on IFF_PPROMISC (and IFF_PROMISC)
