FreeBSD 10 network performance problems

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

The forwarding paths don't 100% use flowtable, so there's still
routing table lookups.

All those highly contended locks are the rtentry locking because the
forwarding and fast forwarding paths don't use flowtable.

This shouldn't be a difficult problem to solve; someone just has to go
through those places above, figure out what code is doing the lookups
and convert them to use flowtable.

The one place that's currently a pain is how IPv4 redirects are
handled; you can turn them off with a sysctl.
