327210de43 Remove description of deprecated IP fragment checksum support.
Since SMPng it wasn't really supported anymore and if it worked
then only by chance.  Only very few drivers ever supported it.

ea26d58729 Replaced the misleading uses of a historical artefact M_TRYWAIT with M_WAIT.
Removed dead code that assumed that M_TRYWAIT can return NULL; it's not true
since the advent of MBUMA.

Reviewed by:	arch

There are ongoing disputes as to whether we want to switch to directly using
UMA flags M_WAITOK/M_NOWAIT for mbuf(9) allocation.

cf827063a9 Give MEXTADD() another argument to make both void pointers to the
free function controlable, instead of passing the KVA of the buffer
storage as the first argument.

Fix all conventional users of the API to pass the KVA of the buffer
as the first argument, to make this a no-op commit.

Likely break the only non-convetional user of the API, after informing
the relevant committer.

Update the mbuf(9) manual page, which was already out of sync on
this point.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how
many arguments a CPP macro needs any other way.

This paves the way for giving sendfile(9) a way to wait for the
passed storage to have been accessed before returning.

This does not affect the memory layout or size of mbufs.

Parental oversight by:	sam and rwatson.

No MFC is anticipated.

76f80df62e As I've been pointed out by Andrew Gallatin, there are some
network interface cards smart (or twisted?) enough to be able
to calculate a TCP/UDP checksum for a packet fragmented by the
host CPU.  Therefore the paragraph on the case has been revised.
