Get rid of the RANDOM_IP_ID option and make it a sysctl. NetBSD

2004-08-14T15:32:40+00:00

have already done this, so I have styled the patch on their work:

        1) introduce a ip_newid() static inline function that checks
        the sysctl and then decides if it should return a sequential
        or random IP ID.

        2) named the sysctl net.inet.ip.random_id

        3) IPv6 flow IDs and fragment IDs are now always random.
        Flow IDs and frag IDs are significantly less common in the
        IPv6 world (ie. rarely generated per-packet), so there should
        be smaller performance concerns.

The sysctl defaults to 0 (sequential IP IDs).
