- Unix protocols become MP safe.
- Allows protocol processing interrupts to safely block on locks.
- Fixes a number of race conditions.

parentheses in return statements.
Cosmetic: don't open-code TAILQ_FOREACH().
Cosmetic: change types of variables to avoid oodles of casts: in
in6_src.c, avoid casts by changing several route_in6 pointers
to struct route pointers. Remove unnecessary casts to caddr_t
elsewhere.
Pave the way for eliminating address family-specific route caches:
soon, struct route will not embed a sockaddr, but it will hold
a reference to an external sockaddr, instead. We will set the
destination sockaddr using rtcache_setdst(). (I created a stub
for it, but it isn't used anywhere, yet.) rtcache_free() will
free the sockaddr. I have extracted from rtcache_free() a helper
subroutine, rtcache_clear(). rtcache_clear() will "forget" a
cached route, but it will not forget the destination by releasing
the sockaddr. I use rtcache_clear() instead of rtcache_free()
in rtcache_update(), because rtcache_update() is not supposed
to forget the destination.
Constify:
1 Introduce const accessor for route->ro_dst, rtcache_getdst().
2 Constify the 'dst' argument to ifnet->if_output(). This
led me to constify a lot of code called by output routines.
3 Constify the sockaddr argument to protosw->pr_ctlinput. This
led me to constify a lot of code called by ctlinput routines.
4 Introduce const macros for converting from a generic sockaddr
to family-specific sockaddrs, e.g., sockaddr_in: satocsin6,
satocsin, et cetera.
TODO: udp6, and sendto consideration. as pmtud is mandatory for IPv6,
it is rather important for us to support those cases.
TODO: more testing

entering rtentry's for hosts we're not actually communicating
with.
Do this by invoking the ctlinput for the protocol, which is
responsible for validating the ICMP message:
* TCP -- Lookup the connection based on the address/port
pairs in the ICMP message.
* AH/ESP -- Lookup the SA based on the SPI in the ICMP message.
If validation succeeds, ctlinput is responsible for calling
icmp_mtudisc(). icmp_mtudisc() then invokes callbacks registered
by protocols (such as TCP) which want to take some sort of special
action when a path's MTU changes. For TCP, this is where we now
refresh cached routes and re-enter slow-start.
As a side-effect, this fixes the problem where TCP would not be
notified when a path's MTU changed if AH/ESP were being used.
XXX Note, this is only a fix for the IPv4 case. For the IPv6
XXX case, we need to wait for the KAME folks.

cbc-over-mbuf functions in sys/crypto.
the change should make it much easier to switch crypto function to
machine-dependent ones (like assembly code under sys/arch/i386/crypto?).
also it should be much easier to import AES algorithms.
XXX: it looks that past blowfish-cbc code was buggy. i ran some test pattern,
and new blowfish-cbc code looks more correct. there's no interoperability
between the old code (before the commit) and the new code (after the commit).
XXX: need serious interop tests before move it into 1.5 branch

- interop issues in ipcomp is fixed
- padding type (after ESP) is configurable
- key database memory management (need more fixes)
- policy specification is revisited
XXX m->m_pkthdr.rcvif is still overloaded - hope to fix it soon

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.
