o Add magic to <netinet/in.h> and <netinet6/in6.h> to prevent
redefining INET_ADDRSTRLEN and INET6_ADDRSTRLEN.
o Add a note about missing typedefs in <arpa/inet.h>.
o In i386's <machine/endian.h>, macros have some advantages over
inlines, so change some inlines to macros.

o Move a comment up in <machine/endian.h> that was accidentially moved
down a few revisions ago.
o Reenable userland's use of optimized inline-asm versions of
byteorder(3) functions.
o Fix ordering of prototypes vs. redefinition of byteorder(3)
functions, so that the non-GCC (libc asm) case has proper
prototypes.
o Add proper prototypes for byteorder(3) functions in <sys/param.h>.
o Prevent redundant duplicate prototypes by making use of the
_BYTEORDER_PROTOTYPED define.
o Move the bswap16(), bswap32(), bswap64() C functions into MD space
for platforms in which asm versions don't exist. This significantly
reduces the complexity of some things at the cost of duplicate code.

spares (the size of the field was changed from u_short to u_int to
reflect what it really ends up being). Accordingly, change users of
xucred to set and check this field as appropriate. In the kernel,
this is being done inside the new cru2x() routine which takes a
`struct ucred' and fills out a `struct xucred' according to the
former. This also has the pleasant sideaffect of removing some
duplicate code.

were destined for a broadcast IP address. All TCP packets with a
broadcast destination must be ignored. The system only ignored packets
that were _link-layer_ broadcasts or multicast. We need to check the
IP address too since it is quite possible for a broadcast IP address
to come in with a unicast link-layer address.
Note that the check existed prior to CSRG revision 7.35, but was
removed. This commit effectively backs out that nine-year-old change.

o Do similar things to expose the ntohl() family in libstand, <netinet/in.h>,

o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.

this is a low-functionality change that changes the kernel to access the main
thread of a process via the linked list of threads rather than
assuming that it is embedded in the process. It IS still embeded there

The following steps are involved:

All TCP ISNs that are sent out are valid cookies, which allows entries
in the syncache to be dropped and still have the ACK accepted later.
As all entries pass through the syncache, there is no sudden switchover
from cache -> cookies when the cache is full; instead, syncache entries
simply have a reduced lifetime. More details may be found in the
"Resisting DoS attacks with a SYN cache" paper in the Usenix BSDCon 2002
conference proceedings.
