llentry_free() and arptimer():
o Use callout_init_rw() for lle timeout, this allows us safely
disestablish them.
- This allows us to simplify the arptimer() and make it
race safe.
o Consistently use ifp->if_afdata_lock to lock access to
linked lists in the lle hashes.
o Introduce new lle flag LLE_LINKED, which marks an entry that
is attached to the hash.
- Use LLE_LINKED to avoid double unlinking via consequent
calls to llentry_free().
- Mark lle with LLE_DELETED via |= operation istead of =,
so that other flags won't be lost.
o Make LLE_ADDREF(), LLE_REMREF() and LLE_FREE_LOCKED() more
consistent and provide more informative KASSERTs.
The patch is a collaborative work of all submitters and myself.

As discussed on -current, inet_ntoa_r() is non standard,
has different arguments in userspace and kernel, and
almost unused (no clients in userspace, only
net/flowtable.c, net/if_llatbl.c, netinet/in_pcb.c, netinet/tcp_subr.c
in the kernel)
but not for IPv6. The current checks in nd6_nbr.c along with the
old version will result in ifa being NULL and subsequently the
packet will be dropped. This prevented NS/NA, from working and
with that IPv6.
Now return the ifa from the carp lookup function in two cases:
1) if the address matches, is a carp address, and we are MASTER
(as before),
2) if the address matches but it is not a carp address at all (new).

tcp_mtudisc(), which in its turn may call tcp_output(). Under certain
conditions (must admit they are very special) an infinite recursion can
happen.
To avoid recursion we can pass struct route to ip_output() and obtain
correct mtu. This allows us not to use tcp_mtudisc() but call tcp_mss_update()
directly.

it skips FLOWTABLE lookup. However, the non-NULL ro has dual meaning
here: it may be supplied to provide route, and it may be supplied to
store and return to caller the route that ip_output()/ip6_output()
finds. In the latter case skipping FLOWTABLE lookup is pessimisation.
The difference between struct route filled by FLOWTABLE and filled
by rtalloc() family is that the former doesn't hold a reference on
its rtentry. Reference is hold by flow entry, and it is about to
be released in future. Thus, route filled by FLOWTABLE shouldn't
be passed to RTFREE() macro.
- Introduce new flag for struct route/route_in6, that marks route
not holding a reference on rtentry.
- Introduce new macro RO_RTFREE() that cleans up a struct route
depending on its kind.
- All callers to ip_output()/ip6_output() that do supply non-NULL
but empty route should use RO_RTFREE() to free results of
lookup.
- ip_output()/ip6_output() now do FLOWTABLE lookup always when
ro->ro_rt == NULL.

- Add a note to the ipfw(8) man page about the rules no longer being
case sensitive.
- Fix some typos in the man page.

- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.
Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

Much like IP_RECVTTL does for TTL. This allows to implement a
