Why do you still require the epoch to enter X_ip_mrouter_done? Epoch isn't required to write to a pointer that points at data protected by epoch.

Do we still need include <netinet/ip_mroute.h> in ip_input.c and ip_output.c after this change?

Updated.

There is still a potential race between rip_detach and handling MRT_DONE (both call ip_mrouter_done). AFAIK these functions are not used at the same time so its highly unlikely this ever happen - I've never seen it so far.
I'm planning to further refactor ip_mroute.c to avoid this kind of issues, but not in this commit.
