translation. It turns out this is useful for applications which require
source port randomization for security (i.e. dns servers).

to reduce performance degradation under heavy outgoing scan/flood.
Scalability is now much more important then several kilobytes of RAM.
Remove unneded TCP-specific expiration handeling. Before this connected
TCP sessions could never expire. Now connected TCP sessions will expire
after 24hours of inactivity.
Simplify HouseKeeping() to avoid several mul/div-s per packet. Taking into
account increased LINK_TABLE_OUT_SIZE, precision is still much more then
required.
- to increase performance do not reallocate mbuf when possible,
- to support up to 16K packets (was 2K max) use mbuf cluster of proper size.
This change depends on recent ng_nat and ip_fw_nat changes.
restrict the utilization of direct pointers to the content of
ip packet. These modifications are functionally nop()s thus
can be merged with no side effects.

o fixed a comment
o made in kernel libalias a bit less verbose (disabled automatic
logging everytime a new link is added or deleted)

With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

kernel module. LibAlias is not aware about checksum offloading,
so the caller should provide checksum calculation. (The only
current consumer is ng_nat(4)). When TCP packet internals has
been changed and it requires checksum recalculation, a cookie
is set in th_x2 field of TCP packet, to inform caller that it
needs to recalculate checksum. This ugly hack would be removed
when LibAlias is made more kernel friendly.
Incremental checksum updates are left as is, since they don't
conflict with offloading.

- macros to map malloc(3) calls to malloc(9) ones.
- malloc(9) declarations.
- call finishoff() from module handler MOD_UNLOAD case
instead of atexit(3).

libalias.
In /usr/src/lib/libalias/alias.c, the functions LibAliasIn and
LibAliasOutTry call the legacy PacketAliasIn/PacketAliasOut instead
of LibAliasIn/LibAliasOut when the PKT_ALIAS_REVERSE option is set.
In this case, the context variable "la" gets lost because the legacy
compatibility routines expect "la" to be global. This was obviously
an oversight when rewriting the PacketAlias* functions to the
LibAlias* functions.
The fix (as shown in the patch below) is to remove the legacy
subroutine calls and replace with the new ones using the "la" struct
as the first arg.
