Remove Giant assertions from AARP and DDP input routines.
1. rt_check() cleanup:
rt_check() is only necessary for some address families to gain access
to the corresponding arp entry, so call it only in/near the *resolve()
routines where it is actually used -- at the moment this is
arpresolve(), nd6_storelladdr() (the call is embedded here),
and atmresolve() (the call is just before atmresolve to reduce
the number of changes).
This change will make it a lot easier to decouple the arp table
from the routing table.
There is an extra call to rt_check() in if_iso88025subr.c to
determine the routing info length. I have left it alone for
the time being.
The interface of arpresolve() and nd6_storelladdr() now changes slightly:
+ the 'rtentry' parameter (really a hint from the upper level layer)
is now passed unchanged from *_output(), so it becomes the route
to the final destination and not to the gateway.
+ the routines will return 0 if resolution is possible, non-zero
otherwise.
+ arpresolve() returns EWOULDBLOCK in case the mbuf is being held
waiting for an arp reply -- in this case the error code is masked
in the caller so the upper layer protocol will not see a failure.
2. arpcom untangling
Where possible, use 'struct ifnet' instead of 'struct arpcom' variables,
and use the IFP2AC macro to access arpcom fields.
This mostly affects the netatalk code.
=== Detailed changes: ===
net/if_arcsubr.c
rt_check() cleanup, remove a useless variable
net/if_atmsubr.c
rt_check() cleanup
net/if_ethersubr.c
rt_check() cleanup, arpcom untangling
net/if_fddisubr.c
rt_check() cleanup, arpcom untangling
net/if_iso88025subr.c
rt_check() cleanup
netatalk/aarp.c
arpcom untangling, remove a block of duplicated code
netatalk/at_extern.h
arpcom untangling
netinet/if_ether.c
rt_check() cleanup (change arpresolve)
netinet6/nd6.c
rt_check() cleanup (change nd6_storelladdr)
address discovery and caching (similar to inet ARP). Use a single
global mutex, aarptab_mtx, to protect the table. Remove spl/spx.

While there, remove (caddr_t) casting of ethernet addresses, which
among other things discards the qualifier. This makes it clear that
atmulticastaddr does not require synchronization.
whether or not the isr needs to hold Giant when running; Giant-less
operation is also controlled by the setting of debug_mpsafenet
o mark all netisr's except NETISR_IP as needing Giant
o add a GIANT_REQUIRED assertion to the top of netisr's that need Giant
o pickup Giant (when debug_mpsafenet is 1) inside ip_input before
calling up with a packet
o change netisr handling so swi_net runs w/o Giant; instead we grab
Giant before invoking handlers based on whether the handler needs Giant
o change netisr handling so that netisr's that are marked MPSAFE may
have multiple instances active at a time
o add netisr statistics for packets dropped because the isr is inactive

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.

Label link layer mbufs as they are created for transmission, check
mbufs before delivering them to sockets, label mbufs as they are created
from sockets, and preserve mbuf labels if mbufs are copied.

This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to
malloc(). Made it pass M_WAITOK instead. If we were ever to redefine the
value of the M_WAIT flag, this could have became a big problem.
Some of these changes are a bit rough and will become
more polished later. the changes to if_ethersubr should largely be moved
to within the appletalk code, but that will happen later.
A few of these were related to network-byteorder problems,
and more were related to loopback failures.
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).
and fix some bugs..
also fix a bug in aarp.c that didn't take netranges into account.
default routes now work with appletalk, which is a poor-man's
way of being able to access netranges if you only have one network :)
Hopefully the full netranges fix will happen soon.
Kernel Appletalk protocol support
both CAP and netatalk can make use of this..
still needs some owrk but it seemd the right tiime to commit it
so other can experiment.
