IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

using raw IPX sockets. While functional, this support is disabled
using a flag that can't be changed from userspace, and google reveals
no documentation or use of that flag anywhere. This eliminates a
potential lock order reversal and code reentrance issue in which the
output path reentered the input path in IPX.
An alternative to removal would be to use the netisr, as a comment I
added in 2005 suggests. While this change is fairly straight-forward,
the lack of any consumers or the easy possibility of consumers (kernel
modification and recompile required) suggests that this is simply an
unused feature.
Update README to remove this TODO, and a TODO regarding IPX/IP
encapsulation which was also removed a few years ago.

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.
