do not pollute the interface further.
o Run if_detach at splnet().
o Creatively swipe the relevant parts of the netatm atm_nif_detach
which will delete the relevant references to the interface going
away.
o be more careful about clearing addresses (this isn't a kludge)
o For AF_INET interfaces, call SIOCDIFFADDR to remove last(?) bit
of cruft.
Special cases for AF_INET shouldn't be here, but I didn't see a good
generic way of doing this. If I missed something, please let me know.
This gross hack makes pccard ejection stable for ethernet cards.

This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.
The data is returned from the kernel in ASCII form, see the comment in
if.h for some technicalities.
Canonical cut&paste example to be found in if_tun.c
Initial use:
Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.
Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables
This means that the driver will add/delete routes when it knows it is
up/down, rather than have the generic code belive it is up if configured.
This is probably most useful for serial lines, although many PHY chips
could probably tell us if we're connected to the cable/hub as well.
This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)
If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into
more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!
Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome.
Have fun...

Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.

with snprintf(); for others cases, added terminating NUL bytes where
appropriate, replaced constants like "16" with sizeof(), etc.
These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for
maintainability's sake. Any instance where it wasn't "immediately
obvious" that a buffer overflow could not occur was made safer.

ioctl() routine at the end of if_delmulti() so that interfaces with
hardware multicast filtering can update their filters in a timely
manner.
If the interface doesn't support hardware multicast filtering, then
reception of multicast frames is done using 'promiscious mode' or
'capture all multicast frames' mode and software filtering in the
kernel. In this case, it doesn't matter if if_delmulti() ever does
an SCIODELMULTI on the interface or not: if MULTICAST support is
enabled, then we join the 'all hosts' group when the interface is
configured, and remain in it until the interface is brought down.
Without hardware filtering, joining one group means joining all
groups, so it makes no difference if we call the SIOCDELMULTI
routine.
If the interface does support hardware multicast filtering, then
by not reprogramming the hardware filter in if_delmulti(), we have
to wait until somebody calls if_setmulti(), during which time the
interface is receiving frames for multicast groups in which we are
no longer interested.
FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days

Introduce the SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC hooks that can be used to pass an
arbritrary ioctl subcommand into an interface driver. Surprisingly
enough, there was no provision for this already present (except of the
option of abusing SIOC[SG]IFMEDIA for this).
The idea is that an interface driver can establish ioctl subcommands
of its own that can't be meaningfully interpreted by the upper layer
interface ioctl function. Something like this is required to
implement a clean solution of passing down things like CHAP secrets or
PPP options to the /sys/net/if_sppp* files. (Yes, my CHAP is now
finally working with it, but i gotta update my kernel to the new
callout interface before being able to commit _that_.)

Protocols that do not supply this function (e.g. IP) should not be affected.
This commit includes the following changes:
1) Old-style (pr_usrreq()) protocols are no longer supported, the compatibility
glue for them is deleted, and the kernel will panic on boot if any are compiled
in.
2) Certain protocol entry points are modified to take a process structure,
so they they can easily tell whether or not it is possible to sleep, and
also to access credentials.
3) SS_PRIV is no more, and with it goes the SO_PRIVSTATE setsockopt()
call. Protocols should use the process pointer they are now passed.
4) The PF_LOCAL and PF_ROUTE families have been updated to use the new
style, as has the `raw' skeleton family.
5) PF_LOCAL sockets now obey the process's umask when creating a socket
in the filesystem.
As a result, LINT is now broken. I'm hoping that some enterprising hacker
with a bit more time will either make the broken bits work (should be
easy for netipx) or dike them out.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)

This is a patch to sys/net/if.c. What it does is patch the algorithm
for finding an IP address on an interface which most closely matches
a given IP address. The problem with it is when no address matches,
and you have to just pick one at random. Then the code ends up picking
the last IP address in the list. This patch changes things so it
picks up the first address instead.
Usually the first address is more useful as the later ones are aliases.
