Ok. Since -current went from u_short to u_int, we should simply MFC
that change to stable after 4.3 is out the door. Now, I know you have
your heart set on your fancy overflow check Terry but I really think
going to a 32 bit counter is the best solution, especially as Bruce
pointed out it will not bloat the structure. We've been moving all our
other ref counts to 32 bits over the years...
