Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
in_cksum.h required ip.h to be included for struct ip. To be
able to use some general checksum functions like in_addword()
in a non-IPv4 context, limit the (also exported to user space)
IPv4 specific functions to the times, when the ip.h header is
present and IPVERSION is defined (to 4).
We should consider more general checksum (updating) functions
to also allow easier incremental checksum updates in the L3/4
stack and firewalls, as well as ponder further requirements by
certain NIC drivers needing slightly different pseudo values
in offloading cases. Thinking in terms of a better "library".

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.
By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.
