History

Gleb Smirnoff b245f96c44 Since 32-bit if_baudrate isn't enough to describe a baud rate of a 10 Gbit interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed. o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch. o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit, which at modern speeds overflow within a second. This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code. o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the 8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes. o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric. o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters. __FreeBSD_version bumped.
