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