In sys/netinet/ip_compat.h, macro SPLNET() used in ipfilter code is
defined like this:
# if defined(NetBSD1_0) && (NetBSD1_0 > 1)
# define SPLNET(x) x = splsoftnet()
# else
# if !SOLARIS
# define SPLNET(x) x = splnet()
# define SPLX(x) (void) splx(x)
# endif
# endif
So, this means that we use splsoftnet only for -current of 1.0 (1.0A,
...) and use splnet for example for 1.2D. Is this really what
intended to? I doubt that it was `use splsoftnet in recent NetBSD'...
