  - style(9) cleanup.
  - dummynet_io() declaration has changed.
  - Alter packet flow inside dummynet and introduce 'fast' mode of dummynet
    operation: allow certain packets to bypass dummynet scheduler. Benefits are:
    -- lower latency: if packet flow does not exceed pipe bandwidth, packets
       will not be (up to tick) delayed (due to dummynet's scheduler granularity).
    -- lower overhead: if packet avoids dummynet scheduler it shouldn't reenter
       ip stack later. Such packets can be fastforwarded.
    -- recursion (which can lead to kernel stack exhaution) eliminated. This fix
       long existed panic, which can be triggered this way:
          kldload dummynet
          sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0
          ipfw pipe 1 config bw 0
          for i in `jot 30`; do ipfw add 1 pipe 1 icmp from any to any; done
          ping -c 1 localhost
  - New sysctl nodes:
    net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast -        enables 'fast' dummynet io
    net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt -         packets passed to dummynet
    net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt_fast -    packets avoided dummynet scheduler
    net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_pkt_drop -    packets dropped by dummynet
  - Workaround p->numbytes overflow, which can result in infinite loop inside
    dummynet module (prerequisite is using queues with "fat" pipe).
