o Provide separate functions for SIOCAIFADDR and for SIOCDIFADDR, with
clear code flow from beginning to the end. After that the rest of
in_control() gets very small and clear.
o Provide sx(9) lock to protect against parallel ioctl() invocations.
o Reimplement logic from r201282, that tried to keep localhost route in
table when multiple P2P interfaces with same local address are created
and deleted.

net.link.ether, originally it had been at another wrong namespace. It was
incorrectly documented at incorrect manual page arp(8). Since new-ARP commit,
the tunable have been consulted only on route addition, and ignored on route
deletion. Behaviour of a system with tunable turned off is not fully correct,
and has no advantages comparing to normal behavior.

segments thinking it received only one segment. This causes it to enable
the delay the ACK for 100ms to wait for another segment which may never
come because all the data was received already.
Doing delayed ACK for LRO segments is bogus for two reasons: a) it pushes
us further away from acking every other packet; b) it introduces additional
delay in responding to the sender. The latter is especially bad because it
is in the nature of LRO to aggregated all segments of a burst with no more
coming until an ACK is sent back.
Change the delayed ACK logic to detect LRO segments by being larger than
the MSS for this connection and issuing an immediate ACK for them to keep
the ACK clock ticking without interruption.

four counters to struct ifaddr. This kills '+=' on a variables shared
between processors for every packet.
- Nuke struct if_data from struct ifaddr.
- In ip_input() do not put a reference on ifaddr, instead update statistics
right now in place and do IN_IFADDR_RUNLOCK(). These removes atomic(9)
for every packet. [1]
- To properly support NET_RT_IFLISTL sysctl used by getifaddrs(3), in
rtsock.c fill if_data fields using counter_u64_fetch().
- Accidentially fix bug in COMPAT_32 version of NET_RT_IFLISTL, which
took if_data not from the ifaddr, but from ifaddr's ifnet. [2]

output probes get them in network order, so a single translator isn't
enough. This workaround ensures that the problem is essentially invisble
to users: none of the probe arguments or their fields have changed.

Add a last-modified timestamp to each LRO entry and provide an interface
to flush all inactive entries. Drivers decide when to flush and what
the inactivity threshold should be.
Network drivers that process an rx queue to completion can enter a
livelock type situation when the rate at which packets are received
reaches equilibrium with the rate at which the rx thread is processing
them. When this happens the final LRO flush (normally when the rx
routine is done) does not occur. Pure ACKs and segments with total
payload < 64K can get stuck in an LRO entry. Symptoms are that TCP
tx-mostly connections' performance falls off a cliff during heavy,
unrelated rx on the interface.
Flushing only inactive LRO entries works better than any of these
alternates that I tried:
- don't LRO pure ACKs
- flush _all_ LRO entries periodically (every 'x' microseconds or every
'y' descriptors)
- stop rx processing in the driver periodically and schedule remaining
work for later.

features. The changes in particular are:
o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
layer specific union PH_loc for local use. Protocols can flexibly overlay
their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
worked on.
o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
instead of pkthdr.header.
o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).
o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
rsstype field. Adjust accessor macros.
o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
with the packet. It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
a modernized ALTQ.
o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
from the start of the packet. This is important for various offload
capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
information. Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.
o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.
o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
stack) and inbound (up the stack) use. The CSUM flags used to be a bit
chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
places. Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API. The drivers
can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.
o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).
