except in places dealing with ifaddr creation or destruction; and
in such special places incomplete ifaddrs should never be linked
to system-wide data structures. Therefore we can eliminate all the
superfluous checks for "ifa->ifa_addr != NULL" and get ready
to the system crashing honestly instead of masking possible bugs.

It allows to specify options for NFS root file system.
Currently supported options are: soft, intr, conn, lockd.
I'm adding this functionality mostly for 'lockd' option, which is only
honored when performing the initial mount and will be silently ignored
if used while updating the mount options.
This will allow to use flock(2) without the need of using varmfs or
rpc.lockd and friends.
Example of use:
boot.nfsroot.options="intr,lockd"

if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

This code dates back to the very first diskless support on FreeBSD,
back when swapon(8) couldn't simply be run on a NFS backed file.
Suggested replacement command sequence on the client:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1k count=1 oseek=100000
swapon /swapfile
rm -f /swapfile
For whatever value of 100000 you want.
so that it is MI. Allow nfs_mountroot to return an error if the nfs_diskless
struct is not valid, rather than panicing later on. Call nfs_setup_diskless()
from nfs_mountroot if NFS_ROOT is defined, like bootpc_init(). Removed legacy
root mount support for sparc64, and enabled NFS_ROOT by default.
