Since ARP and routing are separated, "proxy only" entries
don't have any meaning, thus we don't need additional field
in sockaddr to pass SIN_PROXY flag.
New kernel is binary compatible with old tools, since sizes
of sockaddr_inarp and sockaddr_in match, and sa_family are
filled with same value.
The structure declaration is left for compatibility with
third party software, but in tree code no longer use it.

link type.
Later on, in r201282, this check morphed to other code, but
message "proxy entry exists for non 802 device" still left,
and now it is printed in a case if route prefix found is
equal to current address being added. In other words, when
we are trying to add ARP entry for a network address. The
message is absolutely unrelated and disappointing in this
case.
I don't see anything bad with setting ARP entries for
network addresses. While useless in usual network,
in a /31 RFC3021 it may be necessary. This, remove this code.
"arp -an" when using a lot of aliases (on a single interface).
A better fix would include a better interface for if_indextoname than
getting the whole address list from the kernel just to find the one
index->name mapping.

IFF_POINTOPOINT link types. The reason was due to the routing
entry returned from the kernel covering the remote end is of an
interface type that does not support ARP. This patch fixes this
problem by providing a hint to the kernel routing code, which
indicates the prefix route instead of the PPP host route should
be returned to the caller. Since a host route to the local end
point is also added into the routing table, and there could be
multiple such instantiations due to multiple PPP links can be
created with the same local end IP address, this patch also fixes
the loopback route installation failure problem observed prior to
this patch. The reference count of loopback route to local end would
be either incremented or decremented. The first instantiation would
create the entry and the last removal would delete the route entry.

1. The "route" command allows route insertion through the interface-direct
option "-iface". During if_attach(), an sockaddr_dl{} entry is created
for the interface and is part of the interface address list. This
sockaddr_dl{} entry describes the interface in detail. The "route"
command selects this entry as the "gateway" object when the "-iface"
option is present. The "arp" and "ndp" commands also interact with the
kernel through the routing socket when adding and removing static L2
entries. The static L2 information is also provided through the
"gateway" object with an AF_LINK family type, similar to what is
provided by the "route" command. In order to differentiate between
these two types of operations, a RTF_LLDATA flag is introduced. This
flag is set by the "arp" and "ndp" commands when issuing the add and
delete commands. This flag is also set in each L2 entry returned by the
kernel. The "arp" and "ndp" command follows a convention where a RTM_GET
is issued first followed by a RTM_ADD/DELETE. This RTM_GET request fills
in the fields for a "rtm" object, which is reinjected into the kernel by
a subsequent RTM_ADD/DELETE command. The entry returend from RTM_GET
is a prefix route, so the RTF_LLDATA flag must be specified when issuing
the RTM_ADD/DELETE messages.
2. Enforce the convention that NET_RT_FLAGS with a 0 w_arg is the
specification for retrieving L2 information. Also optimized the
code logic.

1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion
to obtain correct netmask in case of interface with multiple aliases.

Hopefully no functional changes except fixing a couple of
bugs which could cause endless loops if an ioctl() on an
interface would fail.
Remove global variables in favour of local ones.
Fix indentation of a couple of switch statements.
Overall, this program badly need cleaning up, as it relies
on information passed around through global variables.

#include route.h before iso88025.h, and we have to dereference
the trld_route array correctly. (NOTE: I'm not altogether sure
that this is really the correct way to traverse this array. This
just eliminates the build warning/error. It may not work right at
runtime, and I have no way to test it since I lack the necessary
hardware.)
