protocols.
"struct tcpiphdr" is now gone from much of the code, as are separate pointers
for ti and ti6. The result is fewer variables, which is generally a good thing.
Simple if(is_ipv6) ... else ... tests are gone in favor of a
switch(protocol family), which allows future new protocols to be added easily.
This also makes it possible for someone so inclined to re-implement TUBA (TCP
over CLNP?) and do it right instead of the kluged way it was done in 4.4.
The TCP header template is now referenced through a mbuf rather than done
through a data pointer and dtom()ed as needed. This is partly because dtom() is
evil and partly because max_linkhdr + IPv6 + TCP + MSS/TS/SACK opts won't fit
inside a packet header mbuf, so we need to grab a cluster for that (which the
code now does, if needed).
