where we want to create a new IP datagram.
o Add support for RFC6864, which allows to set IP ID for atomic IP
datagrams to any value, to improve performance. The behaviour is
controlled by net.inet.ip.rfc6864 sysctl knob, which is enabled by
default.
o In case if we generate IP ID, use counter(9) to improve performance.
o Gather all code related to IP ID into ip_id.c.

reside on their own cache line to prevent false sharing with other
nearby structures, especially for those in the .bss segment.
NB: Those mutexes and rwlocks with variables next to them that get
changed on every invocation do not benefit from their own cache line.
Actually it may be net negative because two cache misses would be
incurred in those cases.
directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.
For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

underneath #ifdef VIMAGE blocks.
This change introduces some churn in #include ordering and nesting
throughout the network stack and drivers but is not expected to cause
any additional issues.
In the next step this will allow us to instantiate the virtualization
container structures and switch from using global variables to their
"containerized" counterparts.

obtained from OpenBSD with an algorithm suggested
by Amit Klein. The OpenBSD algorithm has a few
flaws; see Amit's paper for more information.
For a description of how this algorithm works,
please see the comments within the code.
Note that this commit does not yet enable random IP ID
generation by default. There are still some concerns
that doing so will adversely affect performance.

have already done this, so I have styled the patch on their work:
1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
or random IP ID.
2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id
3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
be smaller performance concerns.
The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).

This closes a minor information leak which allows a remote observer to
determine the rate at which the machine is generating packets, since the
default behaviour is to increment a counter for each packet sent.
