Update of /cvsroot/src/sys/sys
In directory netbsd1:/var/slash-tmp/cvs-serv20083/sys

Modified Files:
        mbuf.h 
Log Message:
Update and enhancement to the mbuf code, to support use of non-cluster
external storage.  Highlights:

        - additional "void *" argument to (*ext_free)(), an opaque
          cookie for use by the free function.
        - MCLALLOC() and MCLFREE() calls are gone.  They are replaced
          by MEXTADD() (add external storage to mbuf), MEXTMALLOC()
          (malloc() external storage and attach to mbuf), and
          MEXTREMOVE() (remove external storage from mbuf).
        - completely new external storage reference counting
          mechanism; mclrefcnt[] is gone.

These changes will eventually be used to pass driver DMA buffers up
the network stack, and reduce/eliminate copies in certain code paths
(e.g. NFS writes).

Update of /cvsroot/src/sys/net
In directory netbsd1:/var/slash-tmp/cvs-serv20292

Modified Files:
        if_sl.c if_slvar.h if_strip.c if_stripvar.h 
Log Message:
Update for the new mbuf code, in a slighly kludgy way.  Basically, these
drivers played a somewhat evil trick with clusters, which is now
replaced by a somewhat evil trick with regular malloc'd memory.
