Using of rwlock with multiqueue NICs for IP forwarding on high pps
produces high lock contention and inefficient. Rmlock fits better for
such workloads.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

route caching for TCP, with some improvements. In particular, invalidate
the route cache if a new route is added, which might be a better match.
The cache is automatically invalidated if the old route is deleted.

There are number of radix consumers in kernel land (pf,ipfw,nfs,route)
with different requirements. In fact, first 3 don't have _any_ requirements
and first 2 does not use radix locking. On the other hand, routing
structure do have these requirements (rnh_gen, multipath, custom
to-be-added control plane functions, different locking).
Additionally, radix should not known anything about its consumers internals.
So, radix code now uses tiny 'struct radix_head' structure along with
internal 'struct radix_mask_head' instead of 'struct radix_node_head'.
Existing consumers still uses the same 'struct radix_node_head' with
slight modifications: they need to pass pointer to (embedded)
'struct radix_head' to all radix callbacks.
Routing code now uses new 'struct rib_head' with different locking macro:
RADIX_NODE_HEAD prefix was renamed to RIB_ (which stands for routing
information base).
New net/route_var.h header was added to hold routing subsystem internal
data. 'struct rib_head' was placed there. 'struct rtentry' will also
be moved there soon.
