Don't copy ttl from the inner packet to the encapsulating packet. Make
the outer ttl sysctl'able. This should close PR 14269 from Jasper Wallace
(change partly from there) and it makes traceroute work over gre tunnels.
that other parts of the kernel won't lose gratuitously. There are
places where it's assumed that it won't grow that large.
(2) Avoid accidental reuse of occupied slots in the ifindex2ifnet[]

timeout connection that made it to phase NETWORK yet. (For drivers using
the internal timeout mechanism; isdnd, that does the timeout handling for
ISDN drivers, still needs to be fixed.)
Thanks to Wolfgang Solfrank for finding this.
a configurable maximum (default: 5).
Some ISPs shut down accounts (at least temporarily) after to many bad
retries. This hit me recently due to a stupid pilot error and the fast
retry rate.
containing the userland visible thinks (i.e. ioctl definitions).
Remove all (both) old ioctls, as they had a brain dead API and made keeping
binary compatibility more or less impossible.
Replace by several new ioctls. While there, remove any arbitrary limits
(resulting from the old, broken ioctls) and allow any length of names
and passwords.

Implement a secondary connection-reestablishement mode, which is only
entered after (1) we have successfully transfered payload data over this
connection and (2) if initial retries did not reestablish a session.
In this mode we retry (infrequently) forever, until adminstrator stops
us (by "ifconfig ppppoe0 down"). XXX - need to display this mode in
pppoectl.
It is now possible to pull the DSL modems plug for say 15 minutes, plug
it back in again and just wait. The connection will be reestablished within
three minutes.
it again when going from INITIAL to STARTING. This has been done for
passive or auto-conecting interfaces always, but not for permanent
ones.
This fixes session reestablishement for PPPoE interfaces without LINK1 set,
and probably also closes PR kern/11161.
Thanks to Jared D. McNeill and Ross Harvey for sugesting debug methology.
Collect both local and remote address and set them to the interface in
one step (the peer adress was not set at all before).
This causes the peer address now to show up on the interface and all
messages to the routing socket to be send with correct data. The latter
has been the last missing piece to complete PPPoE support.
