- Use word-sized test for unaligned pointer before working
the hard way.
Memory page boundary is always integral multiple of a word
alignment boundary. Therefore, if we can access memory
referenced by pointer p, then (p & ~word mask) must be also
accessible.
- Better utilization of multi-issue processor's ability of
concurrency.
The previous implementation utilized a formular that must be
executed sequentially. However, the ~, & and - operations can
actually be caculated at the same time when the operand were
different and unrelated.
The original Hacker's Delight formular also offered consistent
performance regardless whether the input would contain
characters with their highest-bit set, as it catches real
nul characters only.
These two optimizations has shown further improvements over the
previous implementation on microbenchmarks on i386 and amd64 CPU
including Pentium 4, Core Duo 2 and i7.

Yukon FE and Yukon Ultra2. These controllers provide very simple
checksum computation mechanism and it requires additional pseudo
header checksum computation in upper stack. Even though I couldn't
see much performance difference with/without Rx checksum offloading
it may help notebook based controllers.
Actually controller can compute two checksum value by giving
different starting position of checksum computation on received
frame. However, for long time, Marvell's checksum offloading engine
have been known to have several silicon bugs so don't blindly trust
computed partial checksum value. Instead, compute partial checksum
twice by giving the same checksum computation position and compare
the result. If the value is different it's clear indication of
hardware bug. This configuration lose IP checksum offloading
capability but I think it's better to take safe route.
Note, Rx checksum offloading for Yukon XL was still disabled due to
known silicon bug.
index of status block is read first before acknowledging the
interrupts. Otherwise bge(4) may get stale status block as
acknowledging an interrupt may yield another status block update.

netstat(8) used pointer to node as node address, oops. That didn't
work, we need the node ID in brackets to successfully address a node.
We can't look into ng_node, due to inability to include netgraph/netgraph.h
in userland code. So let the node make a hint for a userland, storing
the node ID in its private data.

address as well as the transport protocol port information
from the outbound packets. The routing code is generic and
compares every byte in the given sockaddr object. Therefore
the temporary sockaddr objects must be cleared due to padding
bytes. In addition, the port information must be stripped
or the route search will either fail or return the incorrect
route entry.
Unit testing is done using OpenVPN over the if_tun interface.

no delayed checksum was added to the ip6 output code. This
causes cards that do not support SCTP checksum offload to
have SCTP packets that are IPv6 NOT have the sctp checksum
performed. Thus you could not communicate with a peer. This
adds the missing bits to make the checksum happen for these cards.

arguments makes sense anymore. For example, what would a combination
of -3 (show three months) and -y (show the whole year) do?
We will abort on these cases.
- Move the debug option -d to -H (from highlight), while -d is now
used for setting the day of "today" so that -y and friends can
be tested.
- add a name argument to flowtable_alloc for printing with ddb commands
- extend ddb commands to print destination address or 4-tuples
- don't parse ports in ulp header if FL_HASH_ALL is not passed
- add kern_flowtable_insert to enable more generic use of flowtable
(e.g. system calls for adding entries)
- don't hash loopback addresses
- cleanup whitespace
- keep statistics per-cpu for per-cpu flowtables to avoid cache line contention
- add sysctls to accumulate stats and report aggregate

does not set or update the if_link_state variable.
As such RT_LINK_IS_UP() fails for the if_tap interface.
Also, the RT_LINK_IS_UP() needs to bypass all loopback
interfaces because loopback interfaces are considered
up logically as long as the system is running.
This patch fixes the above issues by setting and updating
the if_link_state variable when the tap interface is
opened or closed respectively. Similary approach is
already done in the if_tun device.
