socket addresses in mbufs. (Socket buffers are the one exception.) A number
of kernel APIs needed to get fixed in order to make this happen. Also,
fix three protocol families which kept PCBs in mbufs to not malloc them
instead. Delete some old compatibility cruft while we're at it, and add
some new routines in the in_cksum family.
Use the MAC address of an interface for the host part of an IPX address
and not the MAC address of the first interface for every IPX address.
This is more inline with the way others like Novell do it.

Take out the error messages (the ip icmp equivalent) with #ifdef IPXERRORMSGS.
This is bogus and as far as I could figure out IPX don't have anything like
it. This is a leftover from its XNS heritage. If nobody complains, I will
take it out completely in a few weeks.
Add some more ipxstat statistics counters.
Make ipxprintfs a sysctl variable and off by default.
Add IPX Netbios "routing" support. This is off by default and can be
switched on with a sysctl knob.
General code cleanup to at least use the same style throughout the IPX
code, but also be more style(9) conformant. Also make a lot of functions
static.
If I don't get any complaints I'll bring all of this over to the 2.2 tree
in a few weeks.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.
