    http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/bpf.patch

    has changes to eliminate the widespread use of stack-based mbufs for use with
    bpf. The patch replaces them with a new bpf_mtap2 routine that does the
    right thing w/o exposing the internal workings of bpf. I've restored the
    M_ASSERTVALID macro to BPF_MTAP but should probably just move this to the
    bpf_mtap/bpf_mtap2 routines.

    Buried in this patch are also some changes to make consistent the prepending
    of the address family for some devices. Previously some code was assuming
    sizeof(int) == sizeof(u_int) == 4 bytes; they've all been changed to use
    u_int32_t.

    Pending feedback I'll commit this stuff after the freeze is lifted.
