Instead, add protocol specific mbuf flags M_IP_NEXTHOP and
M_IP6_NEXTHOP. Use them to indicate that the mbuf's chain
contains the PACKET_TAG_IPFORWARD tag. And do a tag lookup
only when this flag is set.

in network byte order. Any host byte order processing is
done in local variables and host byte order values are
never[1] written to a packet.
After this change a packet processed by the stack isn't
modified at all[2] except for TTL.
After this change a network stack hacker doesn't need to
scratch his head trying to figure out what is the byte order
at the given place in the stack.
[1] One exception still remains. The raw sockets convert host
byte order before pass a packet to an application. Probably
this would remain for ages for compatibility.
[2] The ip_input() still subtructs header len from ip->ip_len,
but this is planned to be fixed soon.

is similar to r241406 which conditionally skips the same check in IPv4.
This change is part of bigger patch eliminating rte locking.

host byte order, was sometimes called with net byte order. Since we are
moving towards net byte order throughout the stack, the function was
converted to expect net byte order, and its consumers fixed appropriately:
- ip_output(), ipfilter(4) not changed, since already call
in_delayed_cksum() with header in net byte order.
- divert(4), ng_nat(4), ipfw_nat(4) now don't need to swap byte order
there and back.
- mrouting code and IPv6 ipsec now need to switch byte order there and
back, but I hope, this is temporary solution.
- In ipsec(4) shifted switch to net byte order prior to in_delayed_cksum().
- pf_route() catches up on r241245 changes to ip_output().
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.

implementation of RFC 3484 for this purpose for a long time and "prefer_source"
was never implemented actually. ND6_IFF_PREFER_SOURCE macro is left intact.
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.

Possibly do some entra work in case we would not get into the
ifa0 != NULL paths later as we already do for the mltaddr before.
XXX We should possibly error in case in6_setscope fails.
