  Log:
  Implement reference counting for ifmultiaddr, in_multi, and in6_multi
  structures. Detect when ifnet instances are detached from the network
  stack and perform appropriate cleanup to prevent memory leaks.
  
  This has been implemented in such a way as to be backwards ABI compatible.
  Kernel consumers are changed to use if_delmulti_ifma(); in_delmulti()
  is unable to detect interface removal by design, as it performs searches
  on structures which are removed with the interface.
  
  With this architectural change, the panics FreeBSD users have experienced
  with carp and pfsync should be resolved.
