FreeBSD 7 and multiple IP (mijail-patch in 6.x)

[Johan Ström]

Hello

I got a machine running 6.2 right now, which is being replaced. And  
since SMP performance is much better on 7.x I'd like to go with 7.0  
(and many ppl have indeed verified that it works good on this box, HP  
DL360 G5)...
But, now when I start to setup the machine, I recalled that i've  
patched the 6.2 box with the freebsd mijail patch (http://www.digitaldaemon.com/FreeBSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD_6.2-STABLE-mijail.patch 
).
However, I cannot find anywhere about FreeBSD 7 and a similar patch. A  
quick look at the patch vs the 7.x source tells me it won't apply  
cleanly, but from what I've seen quickly, it could maybe be done. The  
differences I've seen doesn't look too advanced, but then again, I'm   
not a kernel developer...

So, I'd like to know if anyone considered this on 7.x, or if anyone  
can tell me immediately that this wont work or will be LOTS of work,  
or just some patch line adjusting? Ie, how big are the changes from  
6.x to 7.x in these sections?

Thank you for any answers or pointers.
