Short description of ip_fastforward:
o adds full direct process-to-completion IPv4 forwarding code
o handles ip fragmentation incl. hw support (ip_flow did not)
o sends icmp needfrag to source if DF is set (ip_flow did not)
o supports ipfw and ipfilter (ip_flow did not)
o supports divert, ipfw fwd and ipfilter nat (ip_flow did not)
o returns anything it can't handle back to normal ip_input
Enable with sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1

and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

(no fingers pointed), things were restructured and the labeling operation
moved later. This wasn't a problem as BPF_MTAP() relies on the ifnet
label not the mbuf label, but there might have been other problems.

drain routines are done by swi_net, which allows for better queue control
at some future point. Packets may also be directly dispatched to a netisr
instead of queued, this may be of interest at some installations, but
currently defaults to off.

o Fix a bpf_compat issue where malloc() was defined to just call
bpf_alloc() and pass the 'canwait' flag(s) along. It's been changed
to call bpf_alloc() but pass the corresponding M_TRYWAIT or M_DONTWAIT

o add consistency checks to ether_input to catch problems with the change

Setting this flag on an ethernet interface blocks transmission of packets
and discards incoming packets after BPF processing.
This is useful if you want to monitor network trafic but not interact
with the network in question.

I should have committed this ages ago.
The MFC for if_ethersubr.c could be done in the usual few days (only
ipfw2 uses it), the one for bridge.c should probably wait until
after 4.7 because it changes an existing though mostly undocumented
behaviour (on which i hope nobody relies). All in all, i'll wait for
both things unless there is demand.

Also, for all interfaces in this mode pass all ethernet frames to upper layer,
even those not addressed to our own MAC, which allows packets encapsulated
in those frames be processed with packet filters (ipfw(8) et al).

the mbuf contains the ethernet header (eh) as well, which ether_input()
will strip off as needed.
This permits the removal (in a backward compatible way) of the
header removal code which right now is replicated in all drivers,
sometimes in an inconsistent way. Also, because many functions
called after ether_input() require the eh in the mbuf, eventually
we can propagate the interface and handle outdated drivers just
in ether_input().
Individual driver changes to use the new interface will follow as
we have a chance to touch them.
NOTE THAT THIS CHANGE IS FULLY BACKWARD COMPATIBLE AND DOES NOT BREAK
BINARY COMPATIBILITY FOR DRIVERS.
