1e77c1056a Remove unused VNET_SET() and related macros; only VNET_GET() is
ever actually used.  Rename VNET_GET() to VNET() to shorten
variable references.

eddfbb763d Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator.  Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...).  This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.

Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack.  Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory.  Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.

Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy.  Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address.  When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.

This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

1b193af610 Second round of putting global variables, which were virtualized
but formerly missed under VIMAGE_GLOBAL.

Put the extern declarations of the  virtualized globals
under VIMAGE_GLOBAL as the globals themsevles are already.
This will help by the time when we are going to remove the globals
entirely.

3384154590 Sync with recent KAME.
This work was based on kame-20010528-freebsd43-snap.tgz and some
critical problem after the snap was out were fixed.
There are many many changes since last KAME merge.

TODO:
  - The definitions of SADB_* in sys/net/pfkeyv2.h are still different
    from RFC2407/IANA assignment because of binary compatibility
    issue.  It should be fixed under 5-CURRENT.
  - ip6po_m member of struct ip6_pktopts is no longer used.  But, it
    is still there because of binary compatibility issue.  It should
    be removed under 5-CURRENT.
