>Description:
Interface creation now fails to correctly install more-specific routes, or gets terribly confused.

This happens in two cases that are critical for freebsd.org cluster infrastructure machines.

1) Discard interface as a supernet is broken..

2) jail loopback substitution aliases are broken.
>How-To-Repeat:
The most urgent problem:

peter at mailspool:# % netstat -rn | grep 127
127.0.0.1          link#3             UH          0        0    lo0
root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig -a | fgrep 127.0
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo1 create
root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig -a | fgrep 127.0
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
root at mailspool:/home/peter # netstat -rn | grep 127
127.0.0.1          link#3             UH          0        0    lo0
root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo1 inet 127.0.3.1/32 alias
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
root at mailspool:/home/peter # netstat -rn | grep 127
127.0.0.1          link#3             UH          0        0    lo0
127.0.3.1          link#4             UHS         0        0    lo0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note how it created something on the wrong interface.

root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo1 | grep 127
root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo0 | grep 127
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo1 inet 127.0.3.1/32 -alias
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
root at mailspool:/home/peter # netstat -rn | grep 127
127.0.0.1          link#3             UH          0        0    lo0
127.0.3.1          link#4             UHS         0        0    lo0

. and deleting the interface address doesn't work either.

root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo1 destroy
root at mailspool:/home/peter # netstat -rn | grep 127
127.0.0.1          link#3             UH          0        0    lo0
127.0.3.1          link#4             UHS         0        0    lo0
root at mailspool:/home/peter # route delete 127.0.3.1
delete host 127.0.3.1
root at mailspool:/home/peter # netstat -rn | grep 127
127.0.0.1          link#3             UH          0        0    lo0

Trying it with a network instead of a host doesn't work either.

root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo1 create
root at mailspool:/home/peter # ifconfig lo1 127.0.1.1/24
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
root at mailspool:/home/peter # netstat -rn | grep 127
127.0.0.1          link#3             UH          0        0    lo0
127.0.1.1          link#4             UHS         0        0    lo0
