ptpd needs more work #8

Description

@danmcd

It doesn't even launch. The reason for this is because the getifaddrs() call on Illumos doesn't return AF_LINK addresses, which ptp2d requires. dmesg(1m) shows this clearly:

2014-01-19T15:50:05+00:00 localhost ptpd2: [ID 149225 daemon.error] could not get hardware address for interface "net0"

A patched 2.1 from Pluribus Networks has a lot of diffs, including the use of libdlpi to obtain the NIC's MAC address. I'm not sure yet if that's the best approach, but I can provide this patched 2.1 for inspection, if need be. (I may also be able to help a little immediately, and perhaps a lot more in February.)
