if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

that covers updates to the contents. Note this is separate from holding
a reference and/or locking the routing table itself.
Other/related changes:
o rtredirect loses the final parameter by which an rtentry reference
may be returned; this was never used and added unwarranted complexity
for locking.
o minor style cleanups to routing code (e.g. ansi-fy function decls)
o remove the logic to bump the refcnt on the parent of cloned routes,
we assume the parent will remain as long as the clone; doing this avoids
a circularity in locking during delete
o convert some timeouts to MPSAFE callouts
Notes:
1. rt_mtx in struct rtentry is guarded by #ifdef _KERNEL as user-level
applications cannot/do-no know about mutex's. Doing this requires
that the mutex be the last element in the structure. A better solution
is to introduce an externalized version of struct rtentry but this is
a major task because of the intertwining of rtentry and other data
structures that are visible to user applications.
2. There are known LOR's that are expected to go away with forthcoming
work to eliminate many held references. If not these will be resolved
prior to release.
3. ATM changes are untested.

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.

labeling checks and operations as with other network interfaces.
Eventually, if it proves desirable, we might want to offer special
casing of this or other tunnel interfaces where we have an existing
label of interest, rather than treating it as though it's an
entirely fresh mbuf in the incoming/outgoing encapsulation directions.

o instead of a list of mbufs use a list of m_tag structures a la openbsd
o for netgraph et. al. extend the stock openbsd m_tag to include a 32-bit
ABI/module number cookie
o for openbsd compatibility define a well-known cookie MTAG_ABI_COMPAT and
use this in defining openbsd-compatible m_tag_find and m_tag_get routines
o rewrite KAME use of aux mbufs in terms of packet tags
o eliminate the most heavily used aux mbufs by adding an additional struct
inpcb parameter to ip_output and ip6_output to allow the IPsec code to
locate the security policy to apply to outbound packets
o bump __FreeBSD_version so code can be conditionalized
o fixup ipfilter's call to ip_output based on __FreeBSD_version

Have sys/net/route.c:rtrequest1(), which takes ``rt_addrinfo *''
as the argument. Pass rt_addrinfo all the way down to rtrequest1
and ifa->ifa_rtrequest. 3rd argument of ifa->ifa_rtrequest is now
``rt_addrinfo *'' instead of ``sockaddr *'' (almost noone is
using it anyways).
Benefit: the following command now works. Previously we needed
two route(8) invocations, "add" then "change".

Yes this really is rather silly and the implementation is overkill given
that you are only allowed one of them, but NetBSD implements cloning on
this device and it's a less cluttered example of cloning then most.
This work was based on kame-20010528-freebsd43-snap.tgz and some
critical problem after the snap was out were fixed.
There are many many changes since last KAME merge.
TODO:
- The definitions of SADB_* in sys/net/pfkeyv2.h are still different
from RFC2407/IANA assignment because of binary compatibility
issue. It should be fixed under 5-CURRENT.
- ip6po_m member of struct ip6_pktopts is no longer used. But, it
is still there because of binary compatibility issue. It should
be removed under 5-CURRENT.

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.
before adding/removing packets from the queue. Also, the if_obytes and
if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.
IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue. An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.
Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.
