Based on these comments above, I've reverted rev. 1.67, 1.68, 1.69, and
1.70 of nd.c on HEAD. After a bunch more testing I've convinced myself
that I think this will solve the problems that we have been seeing, and
possibly why some other people's testing yielded counter-intitive
results. I'll MFC to STABLE in 3 days.

Log:
Revert nd6.c revs. 1.67, 1.68, 1.69, 1.70 in an attempt to unbreak
IPv6 over point-to-point gif(4) tunnels.
These revisions caused a host route to the destination of a
point-to-point gif(4) interface to not get installed when the interface=
and destination addresses were assigned. This caused
"no route to host" errors when trying to send traffic over the
interface. The first packet arriving inbound over the tunnel,
however, would cause the correct route to get installed, allowing
subsequent outbound traffic to be routed correctly.
gif(4) interfaces with prefix lengths of less than 128 bits
(i.e. no explicit destination address assigned) were not affected
by this bug.
This bug fix is a possible candidate for a 6.2-RELEASE errata note.
