provide a better support for multiple address with the same prefix better.
(like 10.0.0.1/8 and 10.0.0.2/8 on the same interface)
continuation of PR 13311.
remove irrelevant #if 0'ed segment for PR 10427.
each in_ifaddr and delete it when an address is purged.
- Don't simply try to delete a multicast address record listed in the
ia_multiaddrs. It results a dangling pointer. Let who holds a
reference to it to delete it.
- when all the interface address is removed from an interface, and there's
multicast groups still left joined, keep it in kludge table.
- when an interface address is added again, recover multicast groups from
kludge table.
this will avoid problem with dangling in_ifaddr on pcmcia card removal,
due to the link from multicast group info (in_multi).
the code is basically from sys/netinet6/in6.c (jinmei@kame).

multiple addresses from same prefix, onto single interface. PR 10427.
more info:
- 4.4BSD did not check return code from in_ifinit() at all.
4.4BSD does not support multiple address from same prefix.
- past KAME change passed in{,6}_ifinit() to upwards, toward ifconfig(8).
the behavior is filed as PR 10427.
- the commit inhibits EEXIST from rtinit(), hence partially recovers old
4.4BSD behavior.
- the right thing to happen is to properly support multiple address assignment
from the same prefix. KAME tree has more extensive change, however, it needs
much more time to get stabilized (rtentry refcnt change can cause serious
issue, we really need to bake it before bring it to netbsd)
it was a bit too strong, and forbids multiple addresses from
same prefix to be assigned.
now the behavior is the same as previous - memory leak on interface address
addition failure.

although this version has been changed somewhat:
- reference counting on ifaddrs isn't as complete as Bill's original
work was. This is hard to get right, and we should attack one
protocol at a time.
- This doesn't do reference counting or dynamic allocation of ifnets yet.
- This version introduces a new PRU -- PRU_PURGEADDR, which is used to
purge an ifaddr from a protocol. The old method Bill used didn't work
on all protocols, and it only worked on some because it was Very Lucky.
This mostly works ... i.e. works for my USB Ethernet, except for a dangling
ifaddr reference left by the IPv6 code; have not yet tracked this down.
(if the definition is like in rfc2553) they are not supposed to be used.
XXX i'm trying to change rfc2553 sockaddr_storage definition to include
"ss_len" and "ss_family". see ipngwg. situation might change soon.
(Sorry for a big commit, I can't separate this into several pieces...)
Pls check sys/netinet6/TODO and sys/netinet6/IMPLEMENTATION for details.
- sys/kern: do not assume single mbuf, accept chained mbuf on passing
data from userland to kernel (or other way round).
- "midway" ATM card: ATM PVC pseudo device support, like those done in ALTQ
package (ftp://ftp.csl.sony.co.jp/pub/kjc/).
- sys/netinet/tcp*: IPv4/v6 dual stack tcp support.
- sys/netinet/{ip6,icmp6}.h, sys/net/pfkeyv2.h: IETF document assumes those
file to be there so we patch it up.
- sys/netinet: IPsec additions are here and there.
- sys/netinet6/*: most of IPv6 code sits here.
- sys/netkey: IPsec key management code
- dev/pci/pcidevs: regen
In my understanding no code here is subject to export control so it
should be safe.
address zero of each net/subnet is a broadcast address.
(The default value is nonzero, which preserves the current behavior).
This can be set using sysctl; the boot-time default can also be
configured using the HOSTZEROBROADCAST kernel config option.
While we're here, defopt HOSTZEROBROADCAST and SUBNETSARELOCAL
NETHER, NFDDI, NARC are not used anywhere. Remove #include "ether.h",
which had no effect.
Removes clash with "options NATM" for native-ATM network protocol stack.
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
