I got two types of comments, one is about documentation, the other is  
technical one.

1-1) Having how-to document about Mobile IPv6 (similar to that of  
IPv6) in the NetBSD web page is better.

1-2) Manual pages should be prepared accordingly.  For new commands  
and interfaces have to be prepared, and some commands extended by  
this patch should also be updated accordingly.

2) The patch touches IPsec DB.  Since the NetBSD code is now working  
on the FAST_IPSEC mechanism, the patch should also handle it.


For the documentation, I'll prepare them.  For the new IPsec stack,  
I'll investigate the new code and make a patch and ask for review  
again.  After the second review, I'll import the patch to the HEAD tree.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
