It does this simple thing:

which means putting the mbuf pointed to by "m" into the IP
input queue and scheduling a call to ip_input().
Thanks a lot for your answer.
So this is used to inject packets into the ip stack? also, normally
packets received from ethernet is passed into the same point, right?
Any points to docs to read about a packet's traversal in FreeBSD ip
stack? (especially wrt pf)
