  log: "Pull up following revision(s) (requested by ozaki-r in ticket #628):\n\tsys/net/if_ethersubr.c:
    revision 1.250\n\tsys/net/if_ethersubr.c: revision 1.251\n\tsys/net/if_ethersubr.c:
    revision 1.252\n\tsys/net/if_ethersubr.c: revision 1.248\nUse kmem_alloc instead
    of kmem_intr_alloc in ether_addmulti\n\nether_addmulti is now not called in softint
    thanks to wqinput that\npulled input routines of ICMP out of softint.\n\nstyle\n\nFix
    the net.ether.multicast sysctl. If there is no multicast address\ndon't kmem_alloc(0)
    (which panics the kernel), and if the number of\nmulticast addresses has decreased
    don't copyout uninitialized kernel\ndata.\n\nSeveral fixes:\n - Style and typos\n
    - Use kmem_zalloc, in case there is a padding between the fields of\n   the structures\n
    - Use ETHER_ADDR_LEN instead of a hard-coded '6'\n - kmem_alloc(KM_SLEEP) can't
    fail\n - Simplify ether_aton_r\n - Use mutex_obj_free, not to leak memory\n"
