"[...] and removes the hostcache code from standard kernels---the
code that depends on it is not going to happen any time soon,
I'm afraid."
Time to clean up.
Have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes ``rt_addrinfo *''
as the argument. Pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest1
and ifa->ifa_rtrequest. 3rd argument of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now
``rt_addrinfo *'' instead of ``sockaddr *'' (almost noone is
using it anyways).
Benefit: the following command now works. Previously we needed
two route(8) invocations, "add" then "change".
# route add -inet6 default ::1 -ifp gif0
Remove unsafe typecast in rtrequest(), from ``rtentry *'' to
``sockaddr *''. It was introduced by 4.3BSD-Reno and never
corrected.

existing devices (e.g.: tunX). This may need a little more thought.
Create a /dev/netX alias for devices. net0 is reserved.
Allow wiring of net aliases in /boot/device.hints of the form:
hint.net.1.dev="lo0"
hint.net.12.ether="00:a0:c9:c9:9d:63"
This fixes the panic when receiving a packet with an unknown tag, and
also allows reception of packets with known tags.
- Allow overlapping tag number spaces when using multiple hardware-assisted
VLAN parent devices (by comparing the parent interface in
vlan_input_tag() just as in vlan_input() ).

appear in /dev. Interface hardware ioctls (not protocol or routing) can
be performed on the descriptor. The SIOCGIFCONF ioctl may be performed
on the special /dev/network node.
+ implement "limit" rules, which permit to limit the number of sessions
between certain host pairs (according to masks). These are a special
type of stateful rules, which might be of interest in some cases.
See the ipfw manpage for details.
+ merge the list pointers and ipfw rule descriptors in the kernel, so
the code is smaller, faster and more readable. This patch basically
consists in replacing "foo->rule->bar" with "rule->bar" all over
the place.
I have been willing to do this for ages!

Yes this really is rather silly and the implementation is overkill given
that you are only allowed one of them, but NetBSD implements cloning on
this device and it's a less cluttered example of cloning then most.
Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)
