I have some concerns about ip_output():

1. If compiled with IPSEC, an interface could be changed:
[...]
        } else {
                /* nobody uses ia beyond here */
                ifp = ro->ro_rt->rt_ifp;
        }
[...]

The comment "nobody uses ia beyound here" is now incorrect,
perhaps we should remove the comment and add the following:

		ia = ifatoia(ro->ro_rt->rt_ifa);

2. We record statistics before we actually sent the packet through
   interface, but if_output() may fail.  We probably should check the
   return code from it, and only count on success.

3. Why don't we count the IP fragments?
