NetBSD, ported to FreeBSD by Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.org> and
minorly tweaked by me.
This is a standard part of FreeBSD, but must be enabled with:
"sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1" ...and of course forwarding must
also be enabled. This should probably be modified to use the zone
allocator for speed and space efficiency. The current algorithm also
appears to lose if the number of active paths exceeds IPFLOW_MAX (256),
in which case it wastes lots of time trying to figure out which cache
entry to drop.
Define a parameter which indicates the maximum number of sockets in a
system, and use this to size the zone allocators used for sockets and
for certain PCBs.
Convert PF_LOCAL PCB structures to be type-stable and add a version number.
Define an external format for infomation about socket structures and use
it in several places.
Define a mechanism to get all PF_LOCAL and PF_INET PCB lists through
sysctl(3) without blocking network interrupts for an unreasonable
length of time. This probably still has some bugs and/or race
conditions, but it seems to work well enough on my machines.
It is now possible for `netstat' to get almost all of its information
via the sysctl(3) interface rather than reading kmem (changes to follow).
This code will be turned on with the TWO options
DEVFS and SLICE. (see LINT)
Two labels PRE_DEVFS_SLICE and POST_DEVFS_SLICE will deliniate these changes.
/dev will be automatically mounted by init (thanks phk)
on bootup. See /sys/dev/slice/slice.4 for more info.
All code should act the same without these options enabled.

This code does not support the following:
bad144 handling.
Persistance. (My head is still hurting from the last time we discussed this)
ATAPI flopies are not handled by the SLICE code yet.
When this code is running, all major numbers are arbitrary and COULD
be dynamically assigned. (this is not done, for POLA only)
Minor numbers for disk slices ARE arbitray and dynamically assigned.

Revised autodetection code to correctly handle both
old and new VideoLogic Captivator PCI cards.
Added tsleep of 2 seconds to initialistion code for PAL users.
Corrected clock selection code on format change.

_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work. Changes:
Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b". Misnamed files are left
as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add
new ones;
Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux;
Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls;
Add options to LINT;
Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.
work reliably yet (I've had panics), but it does seem to occasionally
be able to transmit and receive syntactically-correct packets.
Also fixes one of if_ethersubr.c's legion style bugs, and removes
the hostcache code from standard kernels---the code that depends on it
is not going to happen any time soon, I'm afraid.
