Hi Andriy,

This commit seems to cause a panic during boot when creating the
loopback interface. I couldn't get a core dump but the problem seems to
happen when dereferencing ifp->if_l2com in the IFP2NG macro in
ng_ether_ifnet_arrival_event(). In the case of lo(4) this pointer seems
to be NULL (I suppose because lo(4) doesn't register itself in the
if_com_alloc/free tables).

The patch below fixes the panic for me.

Thanks,
-Mark
