b16cb0a948 Correct mbuf packet header propagation. Previously, packet headers
were sometimes propagated using M_COPY_PKTHDR which actually did
something between a "move" and a  "copy" operation.  This is replaced
by M_MOVE_PKTHDR (which copies the pkthdr contents and "removes" it
from the source mbuf) and m_dup_pkthdr which copies the packet
header contents including any m_tag chain.  This corrects numerous
problems whereby mbuf tags could be lost during packet manipulations.

These changes also introduce arguments to m_tag_copy and m_tag_copy_chain
to specify if the tag copy work should potentially block.  This
introduces an incompatibility with openbsd which we may want to revisit.

Note that move/dup of packet headers does not handle target mbufs
that have a cluster bound to them.  We may want to support this;
for now we watch for it with an assert.

Finally, M_COPYFLAGS was updated to include M_FIRSTFRAG|M_LASTFRAG.

f6bdcf8ff2 "Fast IPsec": this is an experimental IPsec implementation that is derived
from the KAME IPsec implementation, but with heavy borrowing and influence
of openbsd.  A key feature of this implementation is that it uses the kernel
crypto framework to do all crypto work so when h/w crypto support is present
IPsec operation is automatically accelerated.  Otherwise the protocol
implementations are rather differet while the SADB and policy management
code is very similar to KAME (for the moment).

Note that this implementation is enabled with a FAST_IPSEC option.  With this
you get all protocols; i.e. there is no FAST_IPSEC_ESP option.

FAST_IPSEC and IPSEC are mutually exclusive; you cannot build both into a
single system.

This software is well tested with IPv4 but should be considered very
experimental (i.e. do not deploy in production environments).  This software
does NOT currently support IPv6.  In fact do not configure FAST_IPSEC and
INET6 in the same system.
