- fix the problem that netstat doesn't show raw6 and icmp6 pcblist.
- make netstat use sysctl to retreive stats of ipv6 and icmpv6
instead of kread.

introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one
which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource
reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages:
o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks.
o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools.
o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros.
o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able
to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer
needed by the network stacks.
Additional things changed with this addition:
- Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from
sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong.
- m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really
confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new
name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old
name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was
merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster."
- TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and
systat(1) (see TODO below).
- Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU
stat structures.
- Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported
per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl.
TODO (in order of priority):
- Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after
introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the
already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it
seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are
already present).
- Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also
"total free mbufs per CPU pool."
- Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently
re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file.
- Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion
of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter.
- Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

Removed the ambiguity in -s, -f, -p and -i flags handling.
Basically, there are four displays (except others):
1. PCB display.
2. Protocol statistics display. (-s)
3. Interface statistics display. (-i)
4. Per-interface protocol statistics display. (-i -s)
All of the above except 3) can be limited to a particular
protocol family (-f) or a single protocol (-p).
Some examples:
1. netstat -f inet -- show PCBs of all INET protocols
2. netstat -p udp -- show PCB of UDP protocol only (NEW!)
3. netstat -s -- show protocol statistics for all families
4. netstat -s -f inet -- show INET protocols statistics
5. netstat -s -p icmp -- show ICMP protocol statistics
This is a work in progress. Manpage has been fixed slightly,
but is still incomplete.
This work was based on kame-20010528-freebsd43-snap.tgz and some
critical problem after the snap was out were fixed.
There are many many changes since last KAME merge.
TODO:
- The definitions of SADB_* in sys/net/pfkeyv2.h are still different
from RFC2407/IANA assignment because of binary compatibility
issue. It should be fixed under 5-CURRENT.
- ip6po_m member of struct ip6_pktopts is no longer used. But, it
is still there because of binary compatibility issue. It should
be removed under 5-CURRENT.

Always print at least 3 bytes for IN_CLASSC_NET networks.
The standard 193.0.0 class C network for example, will now
be displayed as "193.0.0" as opposed to the confusing 193.

A route generated from an RTF_CLONING route had the RTF_WASCLONED flag
set but did not have a reference to the parent route, as documented in
the rtentry(9) manpage. This prevented such routes from being deleted
when their parent route is deleted.
Now, for example, if you delete an IP address from a network interface,
all ARP entries that were cloned from this interface route are flushed.
This also has an impact on netstat(1) output. Previously, dynamically
created ARP cache entries (RTF_STATIC flag is unset) were displayed as
part of the routing table display (-r). Now, they are only printed if
the -a option is given.
netinet/in.c, netinet/in_rmx.c:
When address is removed from an interface, also delete all routes that
point to this interface and address. Previously, for example, if you
changed the address on an interface, outgoing IP datagrams might still
use the old address. The only solution was to delete and re-add some
routes. (The problem is easily observed with the route(8) command.)
Note, that if the socket was already bound to the local address before
this address is removed, new datagrams generated from this socket will
still be sent from the old address.

statistics on a per network address basis.
Teach the IPv4 and IPv6 input/output routines to log packets/bytes
against the network address connected to the flow.
Teach netstat to display the per-address stats for IP protocols
when 'netstat -i' is evoked, instead of displaying the per-interface
stats.
that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".
