>Description:
The KAME kernel option MAX_GIF_NEST limits the number of recursive gif tunnels that the system allows (tunnels in tunnels).

This option has never been merged into the FreeBSD options file. The code that goes with it *does* exist in the FreeBSD tree, the problem is that the option isn't included in /usr/src/sys/conf/options, and thus that code cannot be enabled.

The code enabled by MAX_GIF_NEST is cricital to the correct operation to the X-Bone port in net/xbone. Could this be added, please?

PS: Even though I'm running 4.2, this is still missing from 4.4-RC and -CURRENT.
