Include opt_inet.h and opt_inet6.h early in the files including
virtio_net.h, since they use INET and/or INET6.
While there, remove redundant inclusion of sys/types.h, since it is
included already by sys/param.h.
There was a discussion to include opt_inet.h and opt_inet6.h also
in virtio_net.h. glebius suggested to add a mechanism for files
to check, if required opt_*.h files were included. virtio_net.h
will be the first consumer of this mechanism.

As of 9e6544dd6e02c46b805d11ab925c4f3b18ad7a4b contigfree(9) is no longer
needed and should not be used anymore. We leave a wrapper for 3rd party
code in at least 15.x but remove (almost) all other cases from the tree.
This leaves one use of contigfree(9) untouched; that was the original
trigger for 9e6544dd6e02 and is handled in D45813 (to be committed
seperately later).

Netmap users on FreeBSD are not supposed to import code from the
github netmap repository anymore. They should use the code that
is available in the src repo. We can therefore drop the compatibility
code.

The netmap passthrough subsystem requires proper support in the
hypervisor. In particular, two PCI device ids (from the Red Hat
PCI vendor id 0x1b36) need to be assigned to the two netmap
virtual devices. We then disable these devices until the ids have
not been assigned, in order to avoid conflicts with other
virtual devices emulated by upstream QEMU.

This patch is part of an effort to make bhyve networking (in particular TCP)
faster. The key strategy to enhance TCP throughput is to let the whole packet
datapath work with TSO/LRO packets (up to 64KB each), so that the per-packet
overhead is amortized over a large number of bytes.
This capability is supported in the guest by means of the vtnet(4) driver,
which is able to handle TSO/LRO packets leveraging the virtio-net header
(see struct virtio_net_hdr and struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf).
A bhyve VM exchanges packets with the host through a network backend,
which can be vale(4) or if_tap(4).
While vale(4) supports TSO/LRO packets, if_tap(4) does not.
This patch extends if_tap(4) with the ability to understand the virtio-net
header, so that a tapX interface can process TSO/LRO packets.
A couple of ioctl commands have been added to configure and probe the
virtio-net header. Once the virtio-net header is set, the tapX interface
acquires all the IFCAP capabilities necessary for TSO/LRO.

Changelist:
- Replace ND, D and RD macros with nm_prdis, nm_prinf, nm_prerr
and nm_prlim, to avoid possible naming conflicts.
- Add netmap_krings_mode_commit() helper function and use that
to reduce code duplication.
- Refactor pipes control code to export some functions that
can be reused by the veth driver (on Linux) and epair(4).
- Add check to reject API requests with version less than 11.
- Small code refactoring for the null adapter.

Changelist:
- Add the proper memory barriers in the kloop ring processing
functions.
- Fix memory barriers usage in the user helpers (nm_sync_kloop_appl_write,
nm_sync_kloop_appl_read).
- Fix nm_kr_txempty() helper to look at rhead rather than rcur. This
is important since the kloop can read a value of rcur which is ahead
of the value of rhead (see explanation in nm_sync_kloop_appl_write)
- Remove obsolete ptnetmap_guest_write_kring_csb() and
ptnet_guest_read_kring_csb(), and update if_ptnet(4) to use those.
- Prepare in advance the arguments for netmap_sync_kloop_[tr]x_ring(),
to make the kloop faster.
- Provide kernel and user implementation for nm_ldld_barrier() and
nm_ldst_barrier()

Changelist:
- Replace netmap passthrough host support with a more general
mechanism to call TXSYNC/RXSYNC from an in-kernel event-loop.
No kernel threads are used to use this feature: the application
is required to spawn a thread (or a process) and issue a
SYNC_KLOOP_START (NIOCCTRL) command in the thread body. The
kernel loop is executed by the ioctl implementation, which returns
to userspace only when a different thread calls SYNC_KLOOP_STOP
or the netmap file descriptor is closed.
- Update the if_ptnet driver to cope with the new data structures,
and prune all the obsolete ptnetmap code.
- Add support for "null" netmap ports, useful to allocate netmap_if,
netmap_ring and netmap buffers to be used by specialized applications
(e.g. hypervisors). TXSYNC/RXSYNC on these ports have no effect.
- Various fixes and code refactoring.

Changelist:
- Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
- Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
parameters.
- Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
pipes)
- Improved API for external VALE modules.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
- Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
- Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
risk of running out of configuration space.
A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

The change upgrades the driver to use the split Communication Status
Block (CSB) format. In this way the variables written by the guest
and read by the host are allocated in a different cacheline than
the variables written by the host and read by the guest; this is
needed to avoid cache thrashing.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.

fix build on 32 bit platforms
simplify logic in netmap_virt.h
The commands (in net/netmap.h) to configure communication with the
hypervisor may be revised soon.
At the moment they are unused so this will not be a change of API.
