This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation allows the UDP source port field to be
used as an entropy field for load-balancing of GRE traffic in transit
networks. Also most of multiqueue network cards are able distribute
incoming UDP datagrams to different NIC queues, while very little are
able do this for GRE packets.
When an administrator enables UDP encapsulation with command
`ifconfig gre0 udpencap`, the driver creates kernel socket, that binds
to tunnel source address and after udp_set_kernel_tunneling() starts
receiving of all UDP packets destined to 4754 port. Each kernel socket
maintains list of tunnels with different destination addresses. Thus
when several tunnels use the same source address, they all handled by
single socket. The IP[V6]_BINDANY socket option is used to be able bind
socket to source address even if it is not yet available in the system.
This may happen on system boot, when gre(4) interface is created before
source address become available. The encapsulation and sending of packets
is done directly from gre(4) into ip[6]_output() without using sockets.

Split it into two modules: if_gre(4) for GRE encapsulation and
if_me(4) for minimal encapsulation within IP.
gre(4) changes:
* convert to if_transmit;
* rework locking: protect access to softc with rmlock,
protect from concurrent ioctls with sx lock;
* correct interface accounting for outgoing datagramms (count only payload size);
* implement generic support for using IPv6 as delivery header;
* make implementation conform to the RFC 2784 and partially to RFC 2890;
* add support for GRE checksums - calculate for outgoing datagramms and check
for inconming datagramms;
* add support for sending sequence number in GRE header;
* remove support of cached routes. This fixes problem, when gre(4) doesn't
work at system startup. But this also removes support for having tunnels with
the same addresses for inner and outer header.
* deprecate support for various GREXXX ioctls, that doesn't used in FreeBSD.
Use our standard ioctls for tunnels.
me(4):
* implementation conform to RFC 2004;
* use if_transmit;
* use the same locking model as gre(4);

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

ifconfig(8) flag since header for version 2 is the same but IP payload
is prepended with additional 4-bytes field.
