  Log:
  Modify ip fw so that whenever UID or GID constraints exist in a
  ruleset, the pcb is looked up once per ipfw_chk() activation.
  
  This is done by extracting the required information out of the PCB
  and caching it to the ipfw_chk() stack. This should greatly reduce
  PCB looking contention and speed up the processing of UID/GID based
  firewall rules (especially with large UID/GID rulesets).
  
  Some very basic benchmarks were taken which compares the number
  of in_pcblookup_hash(9) activations to the number of firewall
  rules containing UID/GID based contraints before and after this patch.
