This is not a reviewed change.  The D19647 itself was not accepted 7 years ago.
Just an URL to reviews.freebsd.org doesn't warrant that change is reviewed.
Even if it was accepted, just 7 year lag itself requires a re-review.

This particular change brings a lot of new ioctl(2) APIs.  It is the opposite
of what other people were doing with ifconfig in the last years - reducing
ioctl use and switching to netlink.

Please revert this and start a proper review process.
