the problem of a horrible read performance of a 64k blocksize FS
residing on a RAID3 array with 8 data components, where a single
disk component would only get 8k read requests, thus effectively
killing disk performance under high load. Documentation will be
provided later. I'd like to thank Vsevolod Lobko for his bright
ideas, and Pawel Jakub Dawidek for helping me fix the nasty bug.

- Print proper error message when argument is specified twice.
Before the change it was detected properly, because of how
G_OPT_DONE() macro worked.
- Use err(3) functions where appropriate.
- Add some assertions.
- Bump version number, because G_TYPE_BOOL addition breaks API and ABI.

With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

length != BPF_WORDALIGN(length)
This meeans that it is possible for this to be true:
interface->rbuf_offset > interface->rbuf_len
Handle this case in the test for running out of packets. While
OpenBSD's solution of setting interface->rbuf_len to
BPF_WORDALIGN(length) is safe due to the size of the buffer, I think
this solution results in less hidden assumptions.
This should fix the problem of dhclient running away and consuming 100%
CPU.

REPORT LUNS command to a device.
camcontrol.[c8]: Implement reportluns. This tries to print the LUNs
out in a reasonable format. Only the periph
addressing method has been tested, since very little
hardware that I know of supports the other methods.
scsi_all.[ch]: Revamp the report luns CDB structure and helper
functions. This constitutes a little bit of an API
change, but since the old CDB length was 10 bytes,
and the REPORT LUNS CDB length is actually 12 bytes,
it's clear that no one was using this API in the
first place.

fwd tablearg ip from any to table(1)
where table 1 has entries of the form:
1.1.1.0/24 10.2.3.4
208.23.2.0/24 router2
This allows trivial implementation of a secondary routing table implemented
in the firewall layer.
I expect more work (under discussion with Glebius) to follow this to clean
up some of the messy parts of ipfw related to tables.
