This change is possible since all the relevant drivers have been
fixed to set if_capenable properly. The field if_capabilities tracks
supported capabilities, which may be disabled administratively.
Inheriting checksum offload support from the parent interface isn't
that easy because the checksumming capabilities of the parent may be
toggled on the fly. Disable the code for now.
it back to userspace, so it does not break bind(2) on raw sockets in jails.
Currently some processes, like traceroute(8) construct a routing request
to determine its source address based on the destination. This sockaddr
data is fed directly to bind(2). When bind calls ifa_ifwithaddr(9) to
make sure the address exists on the interface, the comparison will
fail causing bind(2) to return EADDRNOTAVAIL if the data wasnt zero'ed
before initialization.

o Extend the if_data structure with an ifi_link_state field and
provide the corresponding defines for the valid states.
o The mii_linkchg() callback updates the ifi_link_state field
and calls rt_ifmsg() to notify listeners on the routing socket
in addition to the kqueue KNOTE.
o If vlans are configured on a physical interface notify and update
all vlan pseudo devices as well with the vlan_link_state() callback.

jail, which is less restrictive but allows for more flexible
jail usage (for those who are willing to make the sacrifice).
The default is off, but allowing raw sockets within jails can
now be accomplished by tuning security.jail.allow_raw_sockets
to 1.
Turning this on will allow you to use things like ping(8)
or traceroute(8) from within a jail.
The patch being committed is not identical to the patch
in the PR. The committed version is more friendly to
APIs which pjd is working on, so it should integrate
into his work quite nicely. This change has also been
presented and addressed on the freebsd-hackers mailing
list.

1. rt_check() cleanup:
rt_check() is only necessary for some address families to gain access
to the corresponding arp entry, so call it only in/near the *resolve()
routines where it is actually used -- at the moment this is
arpresolve(), nd6_storelladdr() (the call is embedded here),
and atmresolve() (the call is just before atmresolve to reduce
the number of changes).
This change will make it a lot easier to decouple the arp table
from the routing table.
There is an extra call to rt_check() in if_iso88025subr.c to
determine the routing info length. I have left it alone for
the time being.
The interface of arpresolve() and nd6_storelladdr() now changes slightly:
+ the 'rtentry' parameter (really a hint from the upper level layer)
is now passed unchanged from *_output(), so it becomes the route
to the final destination and not to the gateway.
+ the routines will return 0 if resolution is possible, non-zero
otherwise.
+ arpresolve() returns EWOULDBLOCK in case the mbuf is being held
waiting for an arp reply -- in this case the error code is masked
in the caller so the upper layer protocol will not see a failure.
2. arpcom untangling
Where possible, use 'struct ifnet' instead of 'struct arpcom' variables,
and use the IFP2AC macro to access arpcom fields.
This mostly affects the netatalk code.

consistently with the rest of the code, use IFP2AC(ifp) to access
the arpcom structure given the ifp.
In this case also fix a difference in assumptions WRT the rest of
the net/ sources: it is not the 'struct *softc' that starts with a
'struct arpcom', but a 'struct arpcom' that starts with a
'struct ifnet'
- use ifp instead if &ac->ac_if in a couple of nd6* calls;
this removes a useless dependency.
- use IFP2AC(ifp) instead of an extra variable to point to the struct arpcom;
this does not remove the nesting dependency between arpcom and ifnet but
makes it more evident.

Clearly comment the assumptions on the structure of keys (addresses)

At some point we should also change same variable identifiers such

there so there are no ABI changes);
+ replace 5 redefinitions of the IPF2AC macro with one in if_arp.h
Eventually (but before freezing the ABI) we need to get rid of
struct arpcom (initially with the help of some smart #defines
to avoid having to touch each and every driver, see below).
Apart from the struct ifnet, struct arpcom now only stores a copy
of the MAC address (ac_enaddr, but we already have another copy in
the struct ifnet -- if_addrhead), and a netgraph-specific field
which is _always_ accessed through the ifp, so it might well go
into the struct ifnet too (where, besides, there is already an entry
for AF_NETGRAPH data...)
Too bad ac_enaddr is widely referenced by all drivers. But
this can be fixed as follows:
#define ac_enaddr ac_if.the_original_ac_enaddr_in_struct_ifnet
(note that the right hand side would likely be a pointer rather than
the base address of an array.)

While at it, correct a few misspelling of NULL as 0, but there are
