reason it appeared most frequently for folks running natd). Fix
is to bump the reference count whenever we copy the route cache
contents into a private copy so the entry cannot be reclaimed out
from under us. This is a short term fix as the forthcoming routing

trashed after being freed. This has caused several panics including
kern/42277 related to soft updates. Jim Kuhn tracked the problem
down to ipfw limit rule processing. In the expiry of dynamic rules,
it is possible for an O_LIMIT_PARENT rule to be removed when it still
has live children. When the children eventually do expire, a pointer
to the (long gone) parent is dereferenced and a count decremented.
Since this memory can, and is, allocated for other purposes (in the
case of kern/42277 an inodedep structure), chaos ensues. The offset
in question in inodedep is the offset of the 16 bit count field in
the ipfw2 ipfw_dyn_rule.

for locking.
o minor style cleanups to routing code (e.g. ansi-fy function decls)

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.

Changes from the original implementation:
- Fragmentation is handled by the function m_fragment, which can
be called from whereever fragmentation is needed. Note that this
function is wrapped in #ifdef MBUF_STRESS_TEST to discourage non-testing
use.
- m_fragment works slightly differently from the old fragmentation
code in that it allocates a seperate mbuf cluster for each fragment.
This defeats dma_map_load_mbuf/buffer's feature of coalescing adjacent
fragments. While that is a nice feature in practice, it nerfed the
usefulness of mbuf_stress_test.
- Add two modes of random fragmentation. Chains with fragments all of
the same random length and chains with fragments that are each uniquely
random in length may now be requested.
NB: There is a known LOR on the forwarding path; this needs to be resolved
together with a similar issue in the bridge. For the moment it is

Unfortunately, this is made somewhat difficult by the TCP code,
as tcp_twstart() calls tcp_twrespond() after discarding the socket
but without a reference to the mbuf that causes the "response".
Passing both the socket and the mbuf works arounds this--eventually
