When sending to a multicast address, it may be necessary to specify
the source address explicitly, since the multicast destination address
does not provide enough information to deduce the source address via
the miniroute table.

Allow the source address specified via the data-xfer metadata to be
passed down through the TCP/IP stack to the IPv4 layer, which can use
it as a default source address.

Conventional usage of the various struct sockaddr_xxx types involves
liberal use of casting, which tends to trigger strict-aliasing
warnings from gcc.  Avoid these now and in future by marking all the
relevant types with __attribute__((may_alias)).

Achieved via Perl using:

perl -pi -e 's/pk_buff/io_buffer/g; s/Packet buffer/I\/O buffer/ig; ' \
	-e 's/pkbuff\.h/iobuf.h/g; s/pkb_/iob_/g; s/_pkb/_iob/g; ' \
	-e 's/pkb/iobuf/g; s/PKB/IOB/g;'

names.

Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.

Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros.  This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).

transmissions.

Simplify checksum generation on the TX datapath.

Introduced struct sockaddr_tcpip, to simplify code that deals with
both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Reorganised parts of tcpip.c and udp.c.

the TCP/IP protocol suite (rather than being general transport-layer
functions).

1. Updated UDP send data code\
2. Corrected internet checksum\
3. Moved udp_buffer() and udp_buflen() to udp.c from udp.h
