implementation of RFC 3484 for this purpose for a long time and "prefer_source"

it skips FLOWTABLE lookup. However, the non-NULL ro has dual meaning
here: it may be supplied to provide route, and it may be supplied to
store and return to caller the route that ip_output()/ip6_output()
finds. In the latter case skipping FLOWTABLE lookup is pessimisation.
The difference between struct route filled by FLOWTABLE and filled
by rtalloc() family is that the former doesn't hold a reference on
its rtentry. Reference is hold by flow entry, and it is about to
be released in future. Thus, route filled by FLOWTABLE shouldn't
be passed to RTFREE() macro.
- Introduce new flag for struct route/route_in6, that marks route
not holding a reference on rtentry.
- Introduce new macro RO_RTFREE() that cleans up a struct route
depending on its kind.
- All callers to ip_output()/ip6_output() that do supply non-NULL
but empty route should use RO_RTFREE() to free results of
lookup.
- ip_output()/ip6_output() now do FLOWTABLE lookup always when
ro->ro_rt == NULL.

Interface routes are refcounted as packets move through the stack,
and there's garbage collection tied to it so that route changes can
safely propagate while traffic is flowing. In our setup, we weren't
changing or deleting any routes, but the refcounting logic in
ip6_input() was wrong and caused a reference leak on every inbound
V6 packet. This eventually caused a 32bit overflow, and the resulting
0 value caused the garbage collection to run on the active route.
That then snowballed into the panic.

headers for TSO but also for generic checksum offloading. Ideally we
would only have one common function shared amongst all drivers, and
perhaps when updating them for IPv6 we should introduce that.
Eventually we should provide the meta information along with mbufs to
avoid (re-)parsing entirely.
To not break IPv6 (checksums and offload) and to be able to MFC the
changes without risking to hurt 3rd party drivers, duplicate the v4
framework, as other OSes have done as well.
Introduce interface capability flags for TX/RX checksum offload with
IPv6, to allow independent toggling (where possible). Add CSUM_*_IPV6
flags for UDP/TCP over IPv6, and reserve further for SCTP, and IPv6
fragmentation. Define CSUM_DELAY_DATA_IPV6 as we do for legacy IP and
add an alias for CSUM_DATA_VALID_IPV6.
This pretty much brings IPv6 handling in line with IPv4.
TSO is still handled in a different way and not via if_hwassist.
Update ifconfig to allow (un)setting of the new capability flags.
Update loopback to announce the new capabilities and if_hwassist flags.
Individual driver updates will have to follow, as will SCTP.

Pass that hint down to in6_selectif() to be used when i) the default FIB

This hint should not be generally used from anywhere outside the neighbor
discovery code. We just make use of it from nd6_ns_output().
Extend the nd6_na_output() interface by a nd6_na_output_fib() version
and pass the FIB number from the NS mbuf on to NA to allow the new mbuf
to inherit the FIB tag and a later lookup from ip6_output() to succeed
in the aformentioned example case.
Provide a wrapper function for the old public interface also used from
CARP but mark it with BURN_BRIDGES to cleanup in HEAD after MFC.
