This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to
malloc(). Made it pass M_WAITOK instead. If we were ever to redefine the
value of the M_WAIT flag, this could have became a big problem.

fields between host and network byte order. The details:
o icmp_error() now does not add IP header length. This fixes the problem
when icmp_error() is called from ip_forward(). In this case the ip_len
of the original IP datagram returned with ICMP error was wrong.
o icmp_error() expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_id and ip_off in host
byte order, so DTRT and convert these fields back to network byte order
before sending a message. This fixes the problem described in PR 16240
and PR 20877 (ip_id field was returned in host byte order).
o ip_ttl decrement operation in ip_forward() was moved down to make sure
that it does not corrupt the copy of original IP datagram passed later
to icmp_error().
o A copy of original IP datagram in ip_forward() was made a read-write,
independent copy. This fixes the problem I first reported to Garrett
Wollman and Bill Fenner and later put in audit trail of PR 16240:
ip_output() (not always) converts fields of original datagram to network
byte order, but because copy (mcopy) and its original (m) most likely
share the same mbuf cluster, ip_output()'s manipulations on original
also corrupted the copy.
o ip_output() now expects all three fields, ip_len, ip_off and (what is
significant) ip_id in host byte order. It was a headache for years that
ip_id was handled differently. The only compatibility issue here is the
raw IP socket interface with IP_HDRINCL socket option set and a non-zero
ip_id field, but ip.4 manual page was unclear on whether in this case
ip_id field should be in host or network byte order.
mbuf is marked for delayed checksums, then additionally mark the
packet as having it's checksums computed. This allows us to bypass
computing/checking the checksum entirely, which isn't really needeed
as the packet has never hit the wire.

Any packet that can be matched by a ipfw rule can be redirected
transparently to another port or machine. Redirection to another port
mostly makes sense with tcp, where a session can be set up
between a proxy and an unsuspecting client. Redirection to another machine
requires that the other machine also be expecting to receive the forwarded
packets, as their headers will not have been modified.

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.
