16  * An adjacency is a representation of an attached L3 peer.
17  *
18  * Adjacency Sub-types:
19  * - neighbour: a representation of an attached L3 peer.
20  * Key:{addr,interface,link/ether-type}
21  * SHARED
22  * - glean: used to drive ARP/ND for packets destined to a local sub-net.
23  * 'glean' mean use the packet's destination address as the target
24  * address in the ARP packet.
25  * UNSHARED. Only one per-interface.
26  * - midchain: a nighbour adj on a virtual/tunnel interface.
27  * - rewrite: an adj with no key, but with a rewrite string.
28  *
29  * The API to create and update the adjacency is very sub-type specific. This
30  * is intentional as it encourages the user to carefully consider which adjacency
31  * sub-type they are really using, and hence assign it data in the appropriate
32  * sub-type space in the union of sub-types. This prevents the adj becoming a
33  * disorganised dumping group for 'my features needs a u16 somewhere' data. It
34  * is important to enforce this approach as space in the adjacency is a premium,
35  * as we need it to fit in 1 cache line.
36  *
37  * the API is also based around an index to an ajdacency not a raw pointer. This
38  * is so the user doesn't suffer the same limp inducing firearm injuries that
39  * the author suffered as the adjacenices can realloc.
