Mak the Ethernet PCP codepoint configurable
for L2 local traffic, to allow lower latency for
iSCSI block IO. This addresses the target
side only.

In order to prioritize iSCSI traffic across a network,
DSCP can be used. In order not to rely on "ipfw setdscp"
or in-network reclassification, this adds the dscp value
directly to the portal group (where TCP sessions are accepted).
The incoming iSCSI session is first handled by ctld for any
CHAP authentication and the socket is then handed off to the
in-kernel iscsi driver without modification of the socket
parameters. Simply setting up the socket in ctld is sufficient
to keep sending outgoing iSCSI related traffic with the
configured DSCP value.

ioctl frontend ports.
This revision introduces two changes to CTL:
- Changes the way options are passed to CTL_LUN_REQ and CTL_PORT_REQ ioctls.
Removes ctl_be_arg structure and associated logic and replaces it with
nv(3)-based logic for passing in and out arguments.
- Allows creating multiple ioctl frontend ports using either ctladm(8) or
ctld(8).
New frontend ports are represented by /dev/cam/ctl<pp>.<vp> nodes, eg /dev/cam/ctl5.3.
Those device nodes respond only to CTL_IO ioctl.
New command-line options for ctladm:
# creates new ioctl frontend port with using free pp and vp=0
ctladm port -c
# creates new ioctl frontend port with pp=10 and vp=0
ctladm port -c -O pp=10
# creates new ioctl frontend port with pp=11 and vp=12
ctladm port -c -O pp=11 -O vp=12
# removes port with number 4 (it's a "targ_port" number, not pp number)
ctladm port -r -p 4
New syntax for ctl.conf:
target ... {
port ioctl/<pp>
...
}
target ... {
port ioctl/<pp>/<vp>
...
