Hi Luigi,
I've tried copying netmap sources from HEAD to the latest RELENG_9 branch, but
running
kipfw with two VALE interfaces produced immediate kernel panic (transcribed by
hand, possible typos):
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
cpuid = 1; apic id = 01
fault virtual address = 0x28
fault code = supervisor read data, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x20:0xffffffff808274da
stack pointer = 0x28:0xffffff88df1a5530
frame pointer = 0x28:0xffffff88df1a5550
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = 2349 (kipfw)

Anyways, many thanks for you great work on NETMAP and not the super cool
user-space IPFW!
Cheers,
