Currently, sysctls which enable KDB in some way are flagged with
CTLFLAG_SECURE, meaning that you can't modify them if securelevel > 0.
This is so that KDB cannot be used to lower a running system's
securelevel, see commit 3d7618d8bf. However, the newer mac_ddb(4)
restricts DDB operations which could be abused to lower securelevel
while retaining some ability to gather useful debugging information.
To enable the use of KDB (specifically, DDB) on systems with a raised
securelevel, change the KDB sysctl policy: rather than relying on
CTLFLAG_SECURE, add a check of the current securelevel to kdb_trap().
If the securelevel is raised, only pass control to the backend if MAC
specifically grants access; otherwise simply check to see if mac_ddb
vetoes the request, as before.
Add a new secure sysctl, debug.kdb.enter_securelevel, to override this
behaviour. That is, the sysctl lets one enter a KDB backend even with a
raised securelevel, so long as it is set before the securelevel is
raised.

RFC 4443 specifies cases where certain packets, like those originating from
local-scope addresses destined outside of the scope shouldn't be forwarded.
The current practice is to drop them, send ICMPv6 message where appropriate,
and log the message:
cannot forward src fe80:10::426:82ff:fe36:1d8, dst 2001:db8:db8::10, nxt
58, rcvif vlan5, outif vlan2
At times the volume of such messages cat get very high. Let's allow local
admins to disable such messages on per vnet basis, keeping the current
default (log).
