Not really sure what you are asking.

NGM_READONLY allows the base system to use a reader lock and not block 
other
traffic while the message is bring processed.
NGM_HASREPLY is not used that I can see in the kernel. It may be a 
historical artifact or
maybe only used in the library as a hint.

It has been so long since I was involved with netgraph (over a decade) 
that I really don't remember.
