 * For each "interface" (NIC, host stack, VALE switch port) attached to a
 * file descriptor, the mmap()ed region contains a (logically readonly)
 * struct netmap_if pointing to struct netmap_ring's.
 * There is one netmap_ring per physical NIC ring, plus one tx/rx ring
 * pair attached to the host stack (this pair is unused for VALE ports).
 *
 * All physical/host stack ports share the same memory region,
 * so that zero-copy can be implemented between them.
 * VALE switch ports instead have separate memory regions.
 *
 * The netmap_ring is the userspace-visible replica of the NIC ring.
 * Each slot has the index of a buffer (MTU-sized and residing in the
 * mmapped region), its length and some flags. An extra 64-bit pointer
 * is provided for user-supplied buffers in the tx path.
 *
 * In user space, the buffer address is computed as

 *		when 'tail' moves past 'cur'
 *	tail	(readonly) first slot reserved to the kernel

 *	'head' and 'cur' must be incremented as slots are filled
 *	    with new packets to be sent;
 *	'cur' can be moved further ahead if we need more space
 *	for new transmissions.

 *	cur	wakeup point. select() and poll() will unblock
 *		when 'tail' moves past 'cur'
 *	tail	(readonly) first slot reserved to the kernel
