Not sure how to deal with the error case. All errors we should get are memo=
ry=20
related (as we check carefully that the rtinit will success). This means th=
at=20
the following in_addmulti will sleep if we hit it (in_addmulti mallocs with=
=20
M_WAITOK) ... so I guess you are right and it's the least intrusive if we d=
o=20
return.

Right, thanks.
