network stacks, VNET_SYSINIT:
- Add VNET_SYSINIT and VNET_SYSUNINIT macros to declare events that will
occur each time a network stack is instantiated and destroyed. In the
!VIMAGE case, these are simply mapped into regular SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT.
For the VIMAGE case, we instead use SYSINIT's to track their order and
properties on registration, using them for each vnet when created/
destroyed, or immediately on module load for already-started vnets.
- Remove vnet_modinfo mechanism that existed to serve this purpose
previously, as well as its dependency scheme: we now just use the
SYSINIT ordering scheme.
- Implement VNET_DOMAIN_SET() to allow protocol domains to declare that
they want init functions to be called for each virtual network stack
rather than just once at boot, compiling down to DOMAIN_SET() in the
non-VIMAGE case.
- Walk all virtualized kernel subsystems and make use of these instead
of modinfo or DOMAIN_SET() for init/uninit events. In some cases,
convert modular components from using modevent to using sysinit (where
appropriate). In some cases, do minor rejuggling of SYSINIT ordering
to make room for or better manage events.

(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.

network stack when reentering the inbound path from netgraph, and
force queueing of mbufs at the outbound netgraph node.
The mechanism relies on two components. First, in netgraph nodes
where outbound path of the network stack calls into netgraph, the
current thread has to be appropriately marked using the new
NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_REF() macro before proceeding to call further
into the netgraph topology, and unmarked using the
NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_UNREF() macro before returning to the caller.
Second, netgraph nodes which can potentially reenter the network
stack in the inbound path have to mark their inbound hooks using
NG_HOOK_SET_TO_INBOUND() macro. The netgraph framework will then
detect when there is a danger of a call graph looping back from
outbound to inbound path via netgraph, and defer handing off the
mbufs to the "inbound" node to a worker thread with a clean stack.
In this first pass only the most obvious netgraph nodes have been
updated to ensure no outbound to inbound calls can occur. Nodes
such as ng_ipfw, ng_gif etc. should be further examined whether a
potential for outbound to inbound call looping exists.
This commit changes the layout of struct thread, but due to
__FreeBSD_version number shortage a version bump has been omitted
at this time, nevertheless kernel and modules have to be rebuilt.

Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.
We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.
This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

+ replace 5 redefinitions of the IPF2AC macro with one in if_arp.h
Eventually (but before freezing the ABI) we need to get rid of
struct arpcom (initially with the help of some smart #defines
to avoid having to touch each and every driver, see below).
Apart from the struct ifnet, struct arpcom now only stores a copy
of the MAC address (ac_enaddr, but we already have another copy in
the struct ifnet -- if_addrhead), and a netgraph-specific field
which is _always_ accessed through the ifp, so it might well go
into the struct ifnet too (where, besides, there is already an entry
for AF_NETGRAPH data...)
Too bad ac_enaddr is widely referenced by all drivers. But
this can be fixed as follows:
#define ac_enaddr ac_if.the_original_ac_enaddr_in_struct_ifnet
(note that the right hand side would likely be a pointer rather than
the base address of an array.)
