RFC4191
- supports host-side router-preference
RFC3542
- if DAD fails on a interface, disables IPv6 operation on the
interface
- don't advertise MLD report before DAD finishes
Others
- fixes integer overflow for valid and preferred lifetimes
- improves timer granularity for MLD, using callout-timer.
- reflects rtadvd's IPv6 host variable information into kernel
(router only)
- adds a sysctl option to enable/disable pMTUd for multicast
packets
- performs NUD on PPP/GRE interface by default
- Redirect works regardless of ip6_accept_rtadv
- removes RFC1885-related code

- most of the kernel code will not care about the actual encoding of
scope zone IDs and won't touch "s6_addr16[1]" directly.
- similarly, most of the kernel code will not care about link-local
scoped addresses as a special case.
- scope boundary check will be stricter. For example, the current
*BSD code allows a packet with src=::1 and dst=(some global IPv6
address) to be sent outside of the node, if the application do:
s = socket(AF_INET6);
bind(s, "::1");
sendto(s, some_global_IPv6_addr);
This is clearly wrong, since ::1 is only meaningful within a single
node, but the current implementation of the *BSD kernel cannot
reject this attempt.
- and, while there, don't try to remove the ff02::/32 interface route
entry in in6_ifdetach() as it's already gone.
This also includes some level of support for the standard source
address selection algorithm defined in RFC3484, which will be
completed on in the future.

- routing header declaration with RFC3542
(note: sizeof(ip6_rthdr0) has changed!)
also, sync up with RFC2460 routing header definition (no "strict" source
routing mode any more)
part of advanced API update (RFC2292 -> 3542).
behavior changes:
- two iocts used by ndp(8) are now obsolete (backward compat provided).
use sysctl path instead.
- lo0 does not get ::1 automatically. it will get ::1 when lo0 comes up.
normal operation (/var can get filled up by flodding bogus packets).
sysctl net.inet6.icmp6.nd6_debug will turn on diagnostic messages.
(#define ND6_DEBUG will turn it on by default)
improve stats in ND6 code.
lots of synchronziation with kame (including comments and cometic ones).
mandatory for IPv6 (so we can't just validate by using connected pcb - we need
to allow traffic from unconnected pcb to do pmtud).
- if the traffic is validated by xx_ctlinput, allow up to "hiwat" pmtud
route entries.
- if the traffic was not validated by xx_ctlinput, allow up to "lowat" pmtud
route entries (there's upper limit, so bad guys cannot blow up our routing
table).
sync with kame
XXX need to think again about default hiwat/lowat value.
XXX victim selection to help starvation case
TODO: udp6, and sendto consideration. as pmtud is mandatory for IPv6,
it is rather important for us to support those cases.
TODO: more testing
TODO: kame sync
- add protection mechanism against ND cache corruption due to bad NUD hints.
- more stats
- icmp6 pps limitation. TOOD: should implement ppsratecheck(9).

There are certain bitfield change in 04 draft to 05 draft, which makes
04 "ping6 -a" and 05 "ping6 -a" not interoperable. sigh.
- remove net.inet6.ip6.nd6_proxyall. introduce proxy NDP code works
just like "arp -s".
- revise source address selection.
be more careful about use of yet-to-be-valid addresses as source.
- as router, transmit ICMP6_DST_UNREACH_BEYONDSCOPE against out-of-scope
packet forwarding attempt.
- path MTU discovery takes care of routing header properly.
- be more strict about mbuf chain parsing.
(netinet6/{ip6,icmp6}.h is non-standard path - these files should go away)
it was not possible to use cvsmove in this case.
when you try to look at history, chase it toward netinet6/{ip6,icmp6}.h.
