This means that we will not have to have a bpf and a non-bpf version
of our driver modules.
This does not open any security hole, because the bpf core isn't loadable
The drivers left unchanged are the "cross platform" drivers where the respective
maintainers are urged to DTRT, whatever that may be.
Add a couple of missing FreeBSD tags.
Remove lots'o'hacks.
looutput is now static.
Other callers who want to use loopback to allow shortcutting
should call the special entrypoint for this, if_simloop(), which is
specifically designed for this purpose. Using looutput for this purpose
was problematic, particularly with bpf and trying to keep track
of whether one should be using the charateristics of the loopback interface
or the interface (e.g. if_ethersubr.c) that was requesting the loopback.
There was a whole class of errors due to this mis-use each of which had
hacks to cover them up.
Consists largly of hack removal :-)
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days
time.
This will not make any of object files that LINT create change; there
might be differences with INET disabled, but hardly anything compiled
before without INET anyway. Now the 'obvious' things will give a
proper error if compiled without inet - ipx_ip, ipfw, tcp_debug. The
only thing that _should_ work (but can't be made to compile reasonably
easily) is sppp :-(
This commit move struct arpcom from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
<net/if_arp.h>.
The #ifdef IPXIP in netipx/ipx_if.h is OK (used from ipx_usrreq.c and
ifconfig.c only).
I also fixed a typo IPXTUNNEL -> IPTUNNEL (and #ifdef'ed out the code
inside, as it never could have compiled - doh.)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Kernel Appletalk protocol support
both CAP and netatalk can make use of this..
still needs some owrk but it seemd the right tiime to commit it
so other can experiment.
- fill in and use ifp->if_softc
- use if_bpf rather than private cookie variables
- change bpf interface to take advantage of this
- call ether_ifattach() directly from Ethernet drivers
- delete kludge in if_attach() that did this indirectly
and rmx_recvpipe. This has no demonstrable effect on performance.
(ttcp reports about 44 Mbit/s for all the buffer sizes I tried between
16384 and 65536.)

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.

Fix loopback and discard interfaces to understand BPF writes.
(These two from Bill Fenner to fix PR 512.)
Move ifpromisc() from bpf.c to if.c as suggested by comment in BPF.
Send a notice to the log when promiscuous mode is enabled.
