There is one problem with netgraph on 64-bit platforms.  The ng_msghdr

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..

re:

UPDATING (user utilitiesw will need recompile)
