In bms_netdev, bridge_input() is entered directly from ether_input(). It 
may potentially re-enter, so M_PROMISC is cleared on frames thus handed 
off to if_bridge(4). Same for ng_ether(4).

According to KScope on -CURRENT, the only other places which call the 
split ether_demux() are dummynet_send() and ng_ether_rcv_upper().
