Any objections to the following patch going in as a follow up to the
above discussion?

http://people.freebsd.org/~lstewart/patches/tcp_ffcaia2008/dpcpu_zeromember_9.x.r209745.patch

Turns out I need DPCPU_ZERO to fix a bug in SIFTR and it occurred to me
that providing variants of the macros which work on the DPCPU variable
itself or a member of a DPCPU struct makes good sense. The new patch
therefore renames my original DPCPU_SUM to DPCPU_MEMBERSUM and includes
DPCPU_MEMBERZERO().

Also open to suggestions on a sensible shortening of MEMBER or other
appropriate and descriptive indicator to reduce the macro name lengths.
MBR implies some sort of memory barrier... any other ideas?

Cheers,
Lawrence
