structures in IPX/SPX -- primarily, sequence numbering, PCB lists,
and PCBs for IPX raw sockets, IPX datagram sockets, and IPX/SPX.
As such, remove remove NET_NEEDS_GIANT() for IPX, and remove the
assertion of Giant in the ipxintr() IPX input path.
Note that IPX/SPX is not fully MPSAFE, and that there are some
problems with IPX/SPX locking that will require some further work.
However, it is now safe enough to run in general without the Giant
lock.

portion of IPX/SPX:
- Protect IPX PCB lists with the IPX PCB list mutex, in particular
when calling PCB and PCB list manipulation routines in ipx_pcb.c.
- Protect both IPX PCB state and SPX PCB state using the IPX PCB
mutex.
- Generally annotate locking, as well as adding liberal use of lock
assertions to document locking requirements.
- Where possible, use unlocked reads when reading integer or smaller
sized socket options on SPX sockets.
- De-spl throughout.
Notes:
- spx_input() expects both the list mutex and PCB mutex to be held
on entry, but will release both on return. Because sonewconn() is
called from spx_input(), it may actually drop one PCB lock and
acquire another during generation of a new connection, meaning the
caller is not in a position to unlock the PCB mutex.

When processing socket options against IPX PCBs, generally protect
PCB fields using the IPX PCB mutex. Where possible, use unlocked
reads on integer values to avoid locking overhead.

IPX PCB lists. Add macros to initialize, destroy, lock, unlock,
and assert the mutex. Initialize the mutex when IPX is started.
Add per-IPX PCB mutexes, ipxp_mtx in struct ipxpcb, to protect
per-PCB IPX/SPX state. Add macros to initialize, destroy, lock,
unlock, and assert the mutex. Initialize the mutex when a new
PCB is allocated; destroy it when the PCB is free'd.

whether or not the isr needs to hold Giant when running; Giant-less
operation is also controlled by the setting of debug_mpsafenet
o mark all netisr's except NETISR_IP as needing Giant
o add a GIANT_REQUIRED assertion to the top of netisr's that need Giant
o pickup Giant (when debug_mpsafenet is 1) inside ip_input before
calling up with a packet
o change netisr handling so swi_net runs w/o Giant; instead we grab
Giant before invoking handlers based on whether the handler needs Giant
o change netisr handling so that netisr's that are marked MPSAFE may
have multiple instances active at a time
o add netisr statistics for packets dropped because the isr is inactive

drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control
at some future point. Packets may also be directly dispatched to a netisr
instead of queued, this may be of interest at some installations, but
currently defaults to off.

if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.
IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue. An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.
Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.

"time" wasn't a atomic variable, so splfoo() protection were needed
around any access to it, unless you just wanted the seconds part.
Most uses of time.tv_sec now uses the new variable time_second instead.
gettime() changed to getmicrotime(0.
Remove a couple of unneeded splfoo() protections, the new getmicrotime()
is atomic, (until Bruce sets a breakpoint in it).
A couple of places needed random data, so use read_random() instead
of mucking about with time which isn't random.
Add a new nfs_curusec() function.
Mark a couple of bogosities involving the now disappeard time variable.
Update ffs_update() to avoid the weird "== &time" checks, by fixing the

Change profiling in ncr.c to use ticks instead of time. Resolution is

Add new function "tvtohz()" to avoid the bogus "splfoo(), add time, call
hzto() which subtracts time" sequences.

Use the MAC address of an interface for the host part of an IPX address
and not the MAC address of the first interface for every IPX address.

Take out the error messages (the ip icmp equivalent) with #ifdef IPXERRORMSGS.
This is bogus and as far as I could figure out IPX don't have anything like
it. This is a leftover from its XNS heritage. If nobody complains, I will
take it out completely in a few weeks.
Add some more ipxstat statistics counters.
Make ipxprintfs a sysctl variable and off by default.
Add IPX Netbios "routing" support. This is off by default and can be

General code cleanup to at least use the same style throughout the IPX

If I don't get any complaints I'll bring all of this over to the 2.2 tree

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)

to enable IP forwarding, use sysctl(8). Also did the same for IPX,
which involved inventing a completely new MIB from whole cloth (which
I may not quite have correct); be aware of this if you use IPX forwarding.
