- 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

it has to change the mbuf chain. I experience hard hang on a Xen2 domU after
TCP connections have been closed, and a crash has been reported which may be
caused by this too.
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.)
* RFC 3542 isn't binary compatible with RFC 2292.
* RFC 2292 support is on by default but can be disabled.
* update ping6, telnet and traceroute6 to the new API.

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.

could modify the struct mbuf and calling functions (udp_input() and
udp4_realinput()) would have used a garbled local copy of the pointer.
The fix is not perfect. udp4_espinudp() should use m_pulldown()...
pass it to in_pcbbind() so that can allocate a low numbered port
if setsockopt() has been used to set IP_PORTRANGE to IP_PORTRANGE_LOW.
While there, fail in_pcbconnect() if the in_pcbbind() fails - rather
than sending the request out from a port of zero.
This has been largely broken since the socket option was added in 1998.
