Description
As per PSARC/2008/773:

  The IPQoS ipgpc (IP generic packet classifier) module defines a number of 
  selectors that can be used to classify packets.  Among those selectors is 
  "if_groupname", which selects all packets associated with a given IPMP 
  group.  With Clearview IPMP (PSARC/2007/272), each IPMP group is 
  associated with a unique IP interface name.  As a result, the "if_name" 
  (IP interface name) selector also allows one to select all packets within 
  a given IPMP group, rendering "if_groupname" redundant. 
 
  Thus, we propose to remove "if_groupname".  As a result, if ipqosconf(1M)  
  is given a configuration file with the selector, it will report: 
 
     Error: Invalid parameter, if_groupname, line <line> 
 
  Note that the if_groupname selector has been incorrectly documented in 
  ipqosconf(1M) as "if_grpname" since IPQoS was introduced in Solaris 9. 
  No bugs have ever been filed regarding this (however, there is a lone 
  reference to "if_groupname" tucked into a table in the IP Services book 
  on docs.sun.com).
