It's one of those things that is going to have to happen at some point
anyway. There is just too great a chance of the confusion translating
to buggy code. The question is not so much whether we do it as to how
we do it... do we rename the malloc flags or do we rename the mbuf
flags? I would choose the mbuf flags myself because far more developers
have to deal with malloc flags then mbuf flags. Or maybe we should rename
both :-)
