Gunnar Beutner a85d111cd1 Kernel: Respond to packets sent to the directed broadcast address ...

The last IP address in an IPv4 subnet is considered the directed
broadcast address, e.g. for 192.168.3.0/24 the directed broadcast
address is 192.168.3.255. We need to consider this address as
belonging to the interface.

Here's an example with this fix applied, SerenityOS has 192.168.3.190:

[gunnar@nyx ~]$ ping -b 192.168.3.255
