o Modify ipfw(8) to be able set any prefix6 not just Well-Known,
and also show configured prefix6;
o relocate some definitions and macros into proper place;
o convert nat64_debug and nat64_allow_private variables to be
VNET-compatible;
o add struct nat64_config that keeps generic configuration needed
to NAT64 code;
o add nat64_check_prefix6() function to check validness of specified
by user IPv6 prefix according to RFC6052;
o use nat64_check_private_ip4() and nat64_embed_ip4() functions
instead of nat64_get_ip4() and nat64_set_ip4() macros. This allows
to use any configured IPv6 prefixes that are allowed by RFC6052;
o introduce NAT64_WKPFX flag, that is set when IPv6 prefix is
Well-Known IPv6 prefix. It is used to reduce overhead to check this;
o modify nat64lsn_cfg and nat64stl_cfg structures to use nat64_config
structure. And respectivelly modify the rest of code;
o remove now unused ro argument from nat64_output() function;
o remove __FreeBSD_version ifdef, NAT64 was not merged to older versions;
o add commented -DIPFIREWALL_NAT64_DIRECT_OUTPUT flag to module's Makefile
as example.

The module works together with ipfw(4) and implemented as its external
action module.
Stateless NAT64 registers external action with name nat64stl. This
keyword should be used to create NAT64 instance and to address this
instance in rules. Stateless NAT64 uses two lookup tables with mapped
IPv4->IPv6 and IPv6->IPv4 addresses to perform translation.
A configuration of instance should looks like this:
1. Create lookup tables:
# ipfw table T46 create type addr valtype ipv6
# ipfw table T64 create type addr valtype ipv4
2. Fill T46 and T64 tables.
3. Add rule to allow neighbor solicitation and advertisement:
# ipfw add allow icmp6 from any to any icmp6types 135,136
4. Create NAT64 instance:
# ipfw nat64stl NAT create table4 T46 table6 T64
5. Add rules that matches the traffic:
# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from any to table(T46)
# ipfw add nat64stl NAT ip from table(T64) to 64:ff9b::/96
6. Configure DNS64 for IPv6 clients and add route to 64:ff9b::/96
via NAT64 host.
Stateful NAT64 registers external action with name nat64lsn. The only
one option required to create nat64lsn instance - prefix4. It defines
the pool of IPv4 addresses used for translation.
A configuration of instance should looks like this:
1. Add rule to allow neighbor solicitation and advertisement:
# ipfw add allow icmp6 from any to any icmp6types 135,136
2. Create NAT64 instance:
# ipfw nat64lsn NAT create prefix4 A.B.C.D/28
3. Add rules that matches the traffic:
# ipfw add nat64lsn NAT ip from any to A.B.C.D/28
# ipfw add nat64lsn NAT ip6 from any to 64:ff9b::/96
4. Configure DNS64 for IPv6 clients and add route to 64:ff9b::/96
via NAT64 host.
