Until around april I used all the ATM related Ng stuff regularily (this include ng_socket, all the stuff under netgraph/atm). I think this should just be enabled. Unless build problems have been introduced since then, it should just be enabled.
There is one problem with netgraph on 64-bit platforms. The ng_msghdr struct is 52 bytes / 4-byte aligned (see ng_message.h). That means the message payload is not well-aligned for 64-bit platforms. It would be nice to fix that (and bump NG_VERSION, of course). Nobody ever guaranteed that the message payload would be aligned, but it makes things a lot more convenient.
if we do this we should do it now so that we have a consistent ABI from 5.3 on..
scott (et al), should we pad an extra 4 bytes in this now? it's low/no risk, but better now than after 5.3 has been released..
