o Introduced if_find_by_index()
o Recognizing two types of interface updates: full update (starting with
if_start_update(), ending with if_end_update(), guaranteed to see
all existing interfaces) and a partial update (only if_update(),
usually due to asynchronous interface notifications).
o Introduced IF_LINK_UP flag corresponding to real link state.
o Allowed addressless interfaces.
o IF_UP is now automatically calculated and set iff the interface
is administratively up, has link up and has an IP address assigned.
It may be IF_IGNORED, though (as in case of the loopback).
o Any changes which include up/down transition are considered small
enough to not provoke artificial upping and downing of the interface.
o When an interface disappears (i.e., it wasn't seen in the last scan),
we announce this change only once.
o IF_LOOPBACK implies IF_IGNORE.
o Interface syncing is now a part of krt and it can have configurable
parameters. Actually, the only one is scan rate now :)
o Kernel routing table syncing is now synchronized with interface
syncing (we need the most recent version of the interface list
to prevent lots of routes to non-existent destinations from
appearing). Instead of its own timer, we just check if it's
route scan time after each iface list scan.
o Syncing of device routes implemented.
o CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES should control syncing of automatic device routes.
o Rewrote krt_remove_route() to really remove routes :)
o Better diagnostics.
o Fixed a couple of bugs.
this happens, don't reject the whole interface, just mark it as index 0.
o Removed Pavel's comment about EFAULT and SIGSEGV. EFAULT is a valid return
code for cases where the buffer is too small.
o Commented out the smart interface list size logic temporarily as it seems
Linux 2.0 SIOCGIFCONF doesn't react to ifc_req==NULL sanely. Replaced it
by exponential stepping.
