you don't want this (and the documentation explains why), but if you
use ipfw as an as-needed casual filter as needed which normally runs as
'allow all' then having the kernel and /sbin/ipfw get out of sync is a
*MAJOR* pain in the behind.

these are quite extensive additions to the ipfw code.
they include a change to the API because the old method was
broken, but the user view is kept the same.
The new code allows a particular match to skip forward to a particular
line number, so that blocks of rules can be
used without checking all the intervening rules.
There are also many more ways of rejecting
connections especially TCP related, and
many many more ...
see the man page for a complete description.
Use the name argument almost the same in all LKM types. Maintain
the current behavior for the external (e.g., modstat) name for DEV,
EXEC, and MISC types being #name ## "_mod" and SYCALL and VFS only
#name. This is a candidate for change and I vote just the name without
the "_mod".
Change the DISPATCH macro to MOD_DISPATCH for consistency with the
other macros.
Add an LKM_ANON #define to eliminate the magic -1 and associated
signed/unsigned warnings.
Add MOD_PRIVATE to support wcd.c's poking around in the lkm structure.
Change source in tree to use the new interface.

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.
to TAILQs. Fix places which referenced these for no good reason
that I can see (the references remain, but were fixed to compile
again; they are still questionable).
<net/if_arp.h> and fixed the things that depended on it. The nested
include just allowed unportable programs to compile and made my
simple #include checking program report that networking code doesn't
need to include <sys/socket.h>.
This stuff should not be too destructive if the IPDIVERT is not compiled in..
be aware that this changes the size of the ip_fw struct
so ipfw needs to be recompiled to use it.. more changes coming to clean this up.
- State when we've reached the limit on a particular rule in the kernel logfile
- State when a rule or all rules have been zero'd.
This gives a log of all actions that occur w/regard to the firewall
occurances, and can explain why a particular break-in attempt might not
get logged due to the limit being reached.

Reject the addition of rules that will never match (for example,
1.2.3.4:255.255.255.0). User level utilities specify the policy by either
masking the IP address for the user (as ipfw(8) does) or rejecting the
entry with an error. In either case, the kernel should not modify chain
entries to make them work.
LKM'ness. ACTUALLY_LKM_NOT_KERNEL is supposed to be so ugly that it
only gets used until <machine/conf.h> goes away. bsd.kmod.mk should
define a better-named general macro for this. Some places use
PSEUDO_LKM. This is another bad name.
Makefile:
Added IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT option (commented out).
- Log ICMP type during verbose output.
- Added IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT option to prevent denial of service
attacks via syslog flooding.
- Filter based on ICMP type.
- Timestamp chain entries when they are matched.
- Interfaces can now be matched with a wildcard specification (i.e.
will match any interface unit for a given name).
- Prevent the firewall chain from being manipulated when securelevel
is greater than 2.
- Fixed bug that allowed the default policy to be deleted.
- Ability to zero individual accounting entries.
- Remove definitions of old_chk_ptr and old_ctl_ptr when compiling
ipfw as a lkm.
- Remove some redundant code shared between ip_fw_init and ipfw_load.
Closes PRs: 1192, 1219, and 1267.
Close the ip-fragment hole.
Waste less memory.
Rewrite to contemporary more readable style.
Kill separate IPACCT facility, use "accept" rules in IPFIREWALL.
Filter incoming >and< outgoing packets.
Replace "policy" by sticky "deny all" rule.
Rules have numbers used for ordering and deletion.
Remove "rerorder" code entirely.
Count packet & bytecount matches for rules.
Code in -current & -stable is now the same.
matching IP options..Check and test this - i made only a couple
of rough tests and this could be buggy.. Ipaccounting can't use
IP Options (and i don't see any need to cound packets with specific
options either..)
More to come...
incorrect indents, a variety of poor coding practices such as comparing
pointers to constants ('0'), poor code structuring, etc, etc. This brings
the code up to the minimum standards for inclusion in FreeBSD.
2) Rewrote "bad_packet" code to be less buggy and more readable.
3) Removed a pile of goto's; the code is now somewhat less reminiscent
of a certain Italian pasta.
4) Changed all boolean returns of "0" and "1" to FALSE/TRUE.
