When a fast machine first brings up some non TCP networking program
it is quite possible that we will drop packets due to the fact that
only one packet can be held per ARP entry. This leads to packets
being missed when a program starts or restarts if the ARP data is
not currently in the ARP cache.
This code adds a new sysctl, net.link.ether.inet.maxhold, which defines
a system wide maximum number of packets to be held in each ARP entry.
Up to maxhold packets are queued until an ARP reply is received or
the ARP times out. The default setting is the old value of 1
which has been part of the BSD networking code since time
immemorial.
Expose the time we hold an incomplete ARP entry by adding
the sysctl net.link.ether.inet.wait, which defaults to 20
seconds, the value used when the new ARP code was added..

either find an existing entry, or allocate a new one. In the latter
case an entry would have flags, that were supplied as argument to
lla_lookup(). In case of an existing entry, flags aren't modified.
This lead to losing LLE_PUB and/or LLE_PROXY flags.
We should apply these flags either in lla_rt_output() or in the
in.c:in_lltable_lookup(). It seems to me that lla_rt_output() is
a more correct choice.

- Allow setting format, resolution and accuracy of BPF time stamps per
listener. Previously, we were only able to use microtime(9). Now we can
set various resolutions and accuracies with ioctl(2) BIOCSTSTAMP command.
Similarly, we can get the current resolution and accuracy with BIOCGTSTAMP
command. Document all supported options in bpf(4) and their uses.
- Introduce new time stamp 'struct bpf_ts' and header 'struct bpf_xhdr'.
The new time stamp has both 64-bit second and fractional parts. bpf_xhdr
has this time stamp instead of 'struct timeval' for bh_tstamp. The new
structures let us use bh_tstamp of same size on both 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms without adding additional shims for 32-bit binaries. On 64-bit
platforms, size of BPF header does not change compared to bpf_hdr as its
members are already all 64-bit long. On 32-bit platforms, the size may
increase by 8 bytes. For backward compatibility, struct bpf_hdr with
struct timeval is still the default header unless new time stamp format is
explicitly requested. However, the behaviour may change in the future and
all relevant code is wrapped around "#ifdef BURN_BRIDGES" for now.
- Add experimental support for tagging mbufs with time stamps from a lower
layer, e.g., device driver. Currently, mbuf_tags(9) is used to tag mbufs.
The time stamps must be uptime in 'struct bintime' format as binuptime(9)
and getbinuptime(9) do.

interface when tearing down a vlan interface. If a trunk interface is
detached, all of its multicast addresses are removed before the ifnet
departure eventhandlers are invoked. This means that all of the multicast
addresses are removed before the vlan interfaces are removed which causes
the if_delmulti() calls in the vlan teardown to fail.
In the VLAN_ARRAY case, this left vlan interfaces referencing a no longer
valid parent interface. In the !VLAN_ARRAY case, the eventhandler gets
stuck in an infinite loop retrying vlan_unconfig_locked() forever. In
general the callers of vlan_unconfig_locked() do not expect nor handle
failure, so I believe it is safer to ignore the errors and tear down as
much of the vlan state as possible.

to help out-of-tree consumers to update from 6.x or 7.x to 8 or 9.
