What I've got seems to work (I can't easily test the ip_mroute changes), even
though I'm not completely happy with the implementation. You (I don't mean
just Sephe here) can get the changes by pulling the tcpcb branch from the git
repo at git://repo.or.cz/dragonfly/netmp.git or by fetching
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~aggelos/B1-sopt.patch and applying it to HEAD.
Please test in your regular setup and report any errors ("works for me" is
interesting too). This patch does NOT contain any sockbuf changes and should
be quite safe. That said, don't run it on your production boxes yet.

I'd also like to know what the developers think about

int
kva_p(const void *addr)
{
	/* XXX: mapped? */
	return ((unsigned long)KvaStart <= (unsigned long)addr) &&
		((unsigned long)addr < (unsigned long)KvaEnd);
}

do we need such a function? Should it be quick-n-silly like above or
should it check if there is a page mapped on addr as well?

diffstat for the patch is
