Ok, I will send you an updated spec soon (by tomorrow), but
here is a summary of what I see as the updates:

- s/DLD_PERM/MAC_PERM
- s/DLD_MAP/MAC_MAP
- MAC_PERM_* constants and MAC_MAP* constants will reside in
  <mac.h>
- mention that the private prop implementation of non-canonical
  ndd params must begin with a "_", and that the ndd shim
  will strip out (or add in) the "_" prefix for
  output (or input) names 

With this change, mac_register_private_prop() will indeed
register private props, so I don't think a name change is
warranted (meem?)

A separate CR shall be filed to track the following:
"The larger question of where the information related to
 the DLD*PROP ioctls will reside, and how they shall be named
 (none of which are changed by this case) shall be dealt with
 in a separate case."

Please let me know if I missed something.
