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.
if the cache entry is for outgoing router.
perform on-linkness check before default router (re-)seletion.
do not play with interface direct route on nd6_rtrequest.
sync a lot of cosmetic changes. sync with kame
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).
have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes rt_addrinfo * as the argument.
pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest, and ifa->ifa_rtrequest.
3rd arg of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now rt_addrinfo * instead of sockaddr *
(almost noone is using it anyways).
benefit: the follwoing command now works. previously we need two route(8)
invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from rtentry * to sockaddr *. it was
introduced by 4.3BSD-reno and never corrected.
XXX is eon_rtrequest() change correct regarding to 3rd arg?
eon_rtrequest() and rtrequest() were incorrect since 4.3BSD-reno,
so i do not have correct answer in the source code.
someone with more clue about netiso-over-ip, please help.
- add protection mechanism against ND cache corruption due to bad NUD hints.
- more stats
- icmp6 pps limitation. TOOD: should implement ppsratecheck(9).
with "beyondscope" icmp6 support).
"options FAKE_LOOPBACK_IF" will honor scope on loopback outputs. rcvif will
be real interface, not the loopback, just like when multicast loopback.

timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
- 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.
it is not supposed to work.
logging fix: add "\n" to some of log() in in6_prefix.c.
improve in6_ifdetach(). now almost all structure depend on ifnet
will be cleared up.
possible loose ends:
- cached route_in6 in static varaiables needs to be cleared as well
- there are ifaddr manipulation without reference counting,
which should be fixed
we still see panics after card removal, though... not sure what is left.

code, from netbsd-current repository.
#ifdef'ed version is always available from ftp.kame.net.
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...)
