- Socket layer becomes MP safe.
- 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.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V

XXX please do not make too many diff-unfriendly changes, we'll need to take
bunch of diffs on upgrade...
due to massive changes in KAME side.
- IPv6 output goes through nd6_output
- faith can capture IPv4 packets as well - you can run IPv4-to-IPv6 translator
using heavily modified DNS servers
- per-interface statistics (required for IPv6 MIB)
- interface autoconfig is revisited
- udp input handling has a big change for mapped address support.
- introduce in4_cksum() for non-overwriting checksumming
- introduce m_pulldown()
- neighbor discovery cleanups/improvements
- netinet/in.h strictly conforms to RFC2553 (no extra defs visible to userland)
- IFA_STATS is fixed a bit (not tested)
- and more more more.
TODO:
- cleanup os-independency #ifdef
- avoid rcvif dual use (for IPsec) to help ifdetach
(sorry for jumbo commit, I can't separate this any more...)
RTM_IFINFO is now 0xf, 0xe is RTM_OIFINFO which returns the old (if_msghdr14)
struct with 32bit counters (binary compat, conditioned on COMPAT_14).
Same for sysctl: node 3 is renamed NET_RT_OIFLIST, NET_RT_IFLIST is now node 4.
Change rt_msg1() to add an mbuf to the mbuf chain instead of just panic()
when the message is larger than MHLEN.
