corruption for incoming netiso packets with recent (at least NetBSD-3 and
later) compilers. This is done in a way that the copy is avoided totally.
Code path tested with tcp+udp/ipv4+ipv6, arp and ISO cltp/clnp.
Visually ok'd by Christos@.
sense when chaning the MAC address of the virtual interface as pointed
out by Hans himself.
So, introduce ether_nonstatic_aton() and make etherip(4) and tap(4) use it.
Notable changes:
* Fixes PR 34268.
* Separates the code from gif(4) (which is more cleaner).
* Allows the usage of STP (Spanning Tree Protocol).
* Removed EtherIP implementation from gif(4)/tap(4).
Some input from Christos.
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

that expect real addresses. explicitly KASSERT() that it is not
NULL in the kernel and just avoid using it userland.
(the kernel could be more defensive about this, but, until now it
would have just crashed anyway.)
the non point-to-point interfaces that has one queue, and one used by
the point to point interfaces that has two queues. No functional changes.

This change makes it possible to add gif interfaces to bridges, which
will then send and receive IP protocol 97 packets. Packets are Ethernet
frames with an EtherIP header prepended.
for consistency with M_FREE() and m_freem(). Affected files:

M_PROMISC. In ether_input(), flag packets comming from an interface in
promiscous mode which are not for us M_PROMISC instead of droping them.
Drop M_PROMISC packets which are not passed to vlan_input(). M_PROMISC
packets passed to vlan_input() will be looped back to ether_input()
the M_PROMISC flag will be handled appropriately.
Clear M_PROMISC before giving the packet to bridge, as bridge has its own
checks for local MAC addresses.
This also makes bridges on vlan working.
This improves performance a lot on slow machines behind a cable modem.
Protect it with PPPOE_SERVER as a reminder that this will have to be changed
if we add PPPoE server code in the kernel one day.
Do a little mbuf rework while here. Change all uses of MGET*(*, M_WAIT, *)
to m_get*(M_WAIT, *). These are not performance critical and making them
call m_get saves considerable space. Add m_clget analogue of MCLGET and
make corresponding change for M_WAIT uses.
Modify netinet, gem, fxp, tulip, nfs to support MBUFTRACE.
Begin to change netstat to use sysctl.
do not have ARP configured.
This can be caused by configurations including bridge, ppppoe or vlan but
no ethernet interfaces - which does not make sense. We should add a way
to config(8) to issue this kind of warnings.
