+ configuration: make sure that the NUL at the end of the config
string is properly detected and handled, and the stats passed
up via sysctl properly reflect which interfaces do bridging.
(The whole config support might make good use of some cleanup
in the future).
+ fixed some bugs related to the corruption of multicast and
broadcast packets: make sure that for those packets the entire
IP + ethernet header is in the mbuf, not in a cluster, so
that writes performed in that area by the upper layers do
not affect us.
+ performance: when calling m_pullup, make room for the ethernet header
as well, we are going to add it in right after. Also, change an m_dup
back to m_copypacket. The former is not necessary anymore now, and
it did not help, anyways.
I will do a fast MFC because 95% of this patch is fixing bad bugs
and i doubt anyone would test the fix in CURRENT. Plus the last
two items mostly bring back some code which was already there in 4.0
times.
before adding/removing packets from the queue. Also, the if_obytes and
if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.
IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue. An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.
Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.
* Some dummynet code incorrectly handled a malloc()-allocated pseudo-mbuf
header structure, called "pkt," and could consequently pollute the mbuf
free list if it was ever passed to m_freem(). The fix involved passing not
pkt, but essentially pkt->m_next (which is a real mbuf) to the mbuf
utility routines.
* Also, for dummynet, in bdg_forward(), made the code copy the ethernet header
back into the mbuf (prepended) because the dummynet code that follows expects
it to be there but it is, unfortunately for dummynet, passed to bdg_forward
as a seperate argument.

sifficient. But somewhere (I believe in the UDP stuff), someone is
overwriting an mbuf without calling m_pullup() first. This results in
broad- and multi-cast traffic that is passed through the bridge getting
corrupted.
This should be backed out when there is some assurance that the upper
layers (and I suppose all of the device drivers) are fixed.

pointer, when bridging and bridge_ipfw are enabled, and when bdg_forward()
happens to free the packet and make our pointer NULL. There may be
more similar problems like this one with calls to bdg_forward().

Also, remove the (incomplete) hack for matching ethernet headers
in the ip_fw code.
The good news: net result of 1016 lines removed, and this should make
bridging now work with *all* Ethernet drivers.
The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially
for bridging, and I was unable to get much testing help on the mailing
lists.

- remove traces of in-kernel ip_nat package, it was never committed.
- Make IPFW and DUMMYNET initialize themselves rather than depend on
compiled-in hooks in ip_init(). This means they initialize the same
way both in-kernel and as kld modules. (IPFW initializes now :-)
