Fixed nonblocking mode. It was per-device instead of per-file. This
also fixes clobbering of bd_rtout by overloading it to hold a wrong
version of the blocking flag. I hope nothing depends on the bugs.
Testing in if_ppp.c is good enough.
Added comments about bogus #includes and #defines.
Removed unused #includes.
Don't depend on gcc's misfeature of rewriting short args in old-style
function definitions to match wrong prototypes. I just changed the
function definition to match the prototype, since this is easy to
verify automatically (it causes no changes in the object code), but
it breaks K&R1 support and doesn't fix the pessimal type.
Use gettime() instead of microtime() to set if_lastchange for i/o's.
microtime() is probably too expensive. However, setting if_lastchange
for i/o's may be wrong.
volatile to use outside of splclock(). microtime() is probably too
expensive to use for every i/o. However, setting ifi_lastchange for
every i/o is just wrong according to the comment about ifi_lastchange
in <net/if.h>. It is set then for atm, fddi and the latest version
of ppp.)
Some of these changes are a bit rough and will become
more polished later. the changes to if_ethersubr should largely be moved
to within the appletalk code, but that will happen later.
A few of these were related to network-byteorder problems,
and more were related to loopback failures.
Distribute all but the most fundamental malloc types. This time I also
remembered the trick to making things static: Put "static" in front of
them.
A couple of finer points by: bde
Introduce the SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC hooks that can be used to pass an
arbritrary ioctl subcommand into an interface driver. Surprisingly
enough, there was no provision for this already present (except of the
option of abusing SIOC[SG]IFMEDIA for this).
The idea is that an interface driver can establish ioctl subcommands
of its own that can't be meaningfully interpreted by the upper layer
interface ioctl function. Something like this is required to
implement a clean solution of passing down things like CHAP secrets or
PPP options to the /sys/net/if_sppp* files. (Yes, my CHAP is now
finally working with it, but i gotta update my kernel to the new
callout interface before being able to commit _that_.)

Protocols that do not supply this function (e.g. IP) should not be affected.
2.3.0 -> 2.3.1 changes, but I seem to recall that there are certain
"issues" with 2.3.1 (I'm not sure if it's just pppd or the whole lot, I
am not quite that far). The present pppd seems to work with it just fine
for the time being.
Among the changes are that zlib (aka LZ77 aka deflate aka gzip) compression
is implemented as well as the original compress(1) LZW style.
socket addresses in mbufs. (Socket buffers are the one exception.) A number
of kernel APIs needed to get fixed in order to make this happen. Also,
fix three protocol families which kept PCBs in mbufs to not malloc them
instead. Delete some old compatibility cruft while we're at it, and add
some new routines in the in_cksum family.

this is needed for packets to get processed by a cisco router,
but doesn't matter if a packet is just forwarded.

running with, but the remainder (PAP & CHAP) ain't ready for prime-
