(e.g. ethernet nodes are persistent until you rip out the hardware)
Use this support in the ethernet and sample nodes.
Add some more abstraction on the 'item's so that node and
hook reference counting can be checked easier.
Slight man page correction.
Make pppoe type dependent on ethernet type.
Clean up node shutdown a little.
Move a mutex from MTX_SPIN to MTX_DEF (oops)
Fix small ref-counting bug.
remove warning on one2many type.
The new method is 'flood' (in addition to the old round-robin)
in which incoming packets are sent to more than one outgoing hook.
(I'm not sure what Rogier is using this for but it seems generally useful
and isn't much extra)

This version is functional and is aproaching solid..
notice I said APROACHING. There are many node types I cannot test
I have tested: echo hole ppp socket vjc iface tee bpf async tty
The rest compile and "Look" right. More changes to follow.
DEBUGGING is enabled in this code to help if people have problems.
format version number. (userland programs should not need to be
recompiled when the netgraph kernel internal ABI is changed.
Also fix modules that don;t handle the fact that a caller may not supply
a return message pointer. (benign at the moment because the calling code
checks, but that will change)
This clears out my outstanding netgraph changes.
There is a netgraph change of design in the offing and this is to some
extent a superset of soem of the new functionality and some of the old
functionality that may be removed.
This code works as before, but allows some new features that I want to
work with and evaluate. It is the basis for a version of netgraph
with integral locking for SMP use.
This is running on my test machine with no new problems :-)
