Also try again for deleting routes if things fail. We've seen
route -f fail this way which does not actually flush all routes.
This fixes it. It will whine but it will do the work.

like tun are naming their modules using the 'if_; prefix and previous version of
the code failed to detect their presence in the kernel, resulting in the same
module being loaded twice.
reorganize the printing of the interface name when using wildcard
cloning so it is not printed if it we either immediately rename or
destroy the interface.

Prevent the kernel from potentially overflowing the interface name
variable. The size argument of strlcpy is complex because the name is
not null-terminated in sdl_data.

Setting this flag on an ethernet interface blocks transmission of packets
and discards incoming packets after BPF processing.
This is useful if you want to monitor network trafic but not interact
with the network in question.

Also, for all interfaces in this mode pass all ethernet frames to upper layer,
even those not addressed to our own MAC, which allows packets encapsulated
in those frames be processed with packet filters (ipfw(8) et al).

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.
