A step in resolving mess with byte ordering for AF_INET. After this change:
- All packets in NETISR_IP queue are in net byte order.
- ip_input() is entered in net byte order and converts packet
to host byte order right _after_ processing pfil(9) hooks.
- ip_output() is entered in host byte order and converts packet
to net byte order right _before_ processing pfil(9) hooks.
- ip_fragment() accepts and emits packet in net byte order.
- ip_forward(), ip_mloopback() use host byte order (untouched actually).
- ip_fastforward() no longer modifies packet at all (except ip_ttl).
- Swapping of byte order there and back removed from the following modules:
pf(4), ipfw(4), enc(4), if_bridge(4).
- Swapping of byte order added to ipfilter(4), based on __FreeBSD_version
- __FreeBSD_version bumped.
- pfil(9) manual page updated.
