wollman 27f0e4c38e Add for public examination the beginnings of the per-host cache support
which will for the basis of RTF_PRCLONING's more efficient, better-
designed replacement.

* This file defines the interface between network protocols and
* the cache of host-specific information maintained by the kernel.
* The generic interface takes care of inserting and deleting entries,
* maintaining mutual exclusion, and enforcing policy constraint on the
* size of the cache and the maximum age of its entries.
* It replaces an earlier scheme which overloaded the routing table
* for this purpose, and should be significantly more efficient
* at performing most operations. (It does keep a route to each
* entry in the cache.) Most protocols will want to define a
* structure which begins with `struct hcentry' so that they
* can keep additional, protocol-specific information in it.
