Change a prototype.
Add a function version of ng_ref_node() when debugging so
a breakpoint can be set on it.
ng_base.c:
add 'node' as an argument to ng_apply_item so that it is up
to the caller to take over and release the item's reference on
the node. If the release reports back that the node went away
due to the reference going to 0, the caller should cease referencing
the now defunct node. (e.g. the item was a 'kill node' message).
Alter ng_unref_node to report back the residual references as a result.
ng_pptpgre.c:
Don't reference a node after we dropped a reference to it.
(What if it was the last?)
Fixes a node leak reported by Harti Brandt <brandt@fokus.gmd.de>
which was due to an incorrect earlier attempt to fix the
"accessing node after dropping the last reference" problem.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

Also fix modules that don;t handle the fact that a caller may not supply

checks, but that will change)
This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)

control field compression. The ng_ppp(4) node correctly follows this
rule. However, PPPoE is an exception: when doing PPPoE *all* frames
are sent with address and control field compression.
Alter this node's behavior so that when an outgoing frame is received,
any leading address and control field bytes are removed. This makes
this node compatible with ng_ppp(4).
- It's worthwhile to use untimeout(9), even though we must still protect
against "false" timeouts, because most of the time it saves having to
handle a dummy timeout event.
- Slight tweaks to the delayed ACK algorithm paramters.
- Fix slowness when operating over fast connections, where the timeout(9)
granularity is on the same order of magnitude as the round trip time.
timeout(9) can happen up to 1 tick early, which was causing receive
ack timeouts to happen too early, causing bogus "lost" packets.
- Increase the local time counter to 64 bits to avoid roll-over.
- Keep statistics on memory allocation failures.
- Add a new option to always include the ack when sending data packets.
Might be useful in high packet loss situations. Might not.
otherwise, the ng_ether.ko KLD will never be unloadable after
all Ethernet interfaces are detached, as it should be, because

Should fix PPPoE.
instead of bumping the recvAck counter by one, pretend that
all outstanding xmit packets are acknowleged, and restart
transmitting anew, with an empty (but halved) transmit window.
Put a lower bound on the adaptive timeout value.
This means 'options NETGRAPH' is no longer necessary in order to get
netgraph-enabled Ethernet interfaces. This supports loading/unloading
the ng_ether.ko and attaching/detaching the Ethernet interface in any
order.
Add two new hooks 'upper' and 'lower' to allow access to the protocol
demux engine and the raw device, respectively. This enables bridging
to be defined as a netgraph node, if so desired.

world seems to interpret the spec this way
- Initialize transmit window to two instead of one; helps get things
going initially when the first packet may get dropped
- Really fix the shutdown + timeout race condition this time
- Properly handle 32 bit sequence numbers when they wrap around
- Don't drop GRE packets with stale ACK numbers, just ignore the ACK
- Close race between node being shutdown and timer going off
Also add support for lots of statistics, and control message ASCIIfication
(MPPC) and Microsoft Point-to-Point encryption (MPPE) protocols.
Note: the MPPC part is disabled as it requires proprietary files.

NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.
This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.
Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.
See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.
Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.

This is one piece of the grand unified PPP daemon concept, whereby using

while leaving negotiation/control to be handled by a single user land
