This is because calls with M_WAIT (now M_TRYWAIT) may not wait
forever when nothing is available for allocation, and may end up
returning NULL. Hopefully we now communicate more of the right thing
to developers and make it very clear that it's necessary to check whether
calls with M_(TRY)WAIT also resulted in a failed allocation.
M_TRYWAIT basically means "try harder, block if necessary, but don't
necessarily wait forever." The time spent blocking is tunable with
the kern.ipc.mbuf_wait sysctl.
M_WAIT is now deprecated but still defined for the next little while.
* Fix a typo in a comment in mbuf.h
* Fix some code that was actually passing the mbuf subsystem's M_WAIT to
malloc(). Made it pass M_WAITOK instead. If we were ever to redefine the
value of the M_WAIT flag, this could have became a big problem.

before adding/removing packets from the queue. Also, the if_obytes and
if_omcasts fields should only be manipulated under protection of the mutex.
IF_ENQUEUE, IF_PREPEND, and IF_DEQUEUE perform all necessary locking on
the queue. An IF_LOCK macro is provided, as well as the old (mutex-less)
versions of the macros in the form _IF_ENQUEUE, _IF_QFULL, for code which
needs them, but their use is discouraged.
Two new macros are introduced: IF_DRAIN() to drain a queue, and IF_HANDOFF,
which takes care of locking/enqueue, and also statistics updating/start
if necessary.
* Some dummynet code incorrectly handled a malloc()-allocated pseudo-mbuf
header structure, called "pkt," and could consequently pollute the mbuf
free list if it was ever passed to m_freem(). The fix involved passing not
pkt, but essentially pkt->m_next (which is a real mbuf) to the mbuf
utility routines.
* Also, for dummynet, in bdg_forward(), made the code copy the ethernet header
back into the mbuf (prepended) because the dummynet code that follows expects
it to be there but it is, unfortunately for dummynet, passed to bdg_forward
as a seperate argument.

type of software interrupt. Roughly, what used to be a bit in spending
now maps to a swi thread. Each thread can have multiple handlers, just
like a hardware interrupt thread.
- Instead of using a bitmask of pending interrupts, we schedule the specific
software interrupt thread to run, so spending, NSWI, and the shandlers
array are no longer needed. We can now have an arbitrary number of
software interrupt threads. When you register a software interrupt
thread via sinthand_add(), you get back a struct intrhand that you pass
to sched_swi() when you wish to schedule your swi thread to run.
- Convert the name of 'struct intrec' to 'struct intrhand' as it is a bit
more intuitive. Also, prefix all the members of struct intrhand with
'ih_'.
- Make swi_net() a MI function since there is now no point in it being
MD.

sifficient. But somewhere (I believe in the UDP stuff), someone is
overwriting an mbuf without calling m_pullup() first. This results in
broad- and multi-cast traffic that is passed through the bridge getting
corrupted.
This should be backed out when there is some assurance that the upper
