callback providers. link_init_sdl() function can be used to
fill most of the parameters. Use caller stack instead of
allocation / freing memory for each request. Do not drop support
for extra-long (probably non-existing) link-layer protocols by
introducing link_alloc_sdl() (used by if_resolvemulti() callback)
and link_free_sdl() (used by caller).
Since this change breaks KBI, MFC requires slightly different approach
(link_init_sdl() auto-allocating buffer if necessary to handle cases
with unmodified if_resolvemulti() callers).

This eliminates the following rtsock messages:
Pinned RTM_ADD for prefix (for alias addition).
Pinned RTM_DELETE for prefix (for alias withdrawal).

Sending both RTM_ADD/RTM_DELETE messages to rtsock is completely wrong
(and requires some hacks to keep prefix in route table on RTM_DELETE).
I've tested this change with quagga (no change) and bird (*).
bird alias handling is already broken in *BSD sysdep code, so nothing
changes here, too.
I'm going to MFC this change if there will be no complains about behavior
change.
While here, fix some style(9) bugs introduced by r260488

Adding/deleting interface addresses involves access to 3 different subsystems,
int different parts of code. Each call can fail, so reporting successful
operation by rtsock in the middle of the process error-prone.
Further split routing notification API and actual rtsock calls via creating
public-available rt_addrmsg() / rt_routemsg() functions with "private"
rtsock_* backend.

Most relevant features:
- netmap emulation on any NIC, even those without native netmap support.
On the ixgbe we have measured about 4Mpps/core/queue in this mode,
which is still a lot more than with sockets/bpf.
- seamless interconnection of VALE switch, NICs and host stack.
If you disable accelerations on your NIC (say em0)
ifconfig em0 -txcsum -txcsum
you can use the VALE switch to connect the NIC and the host stack:
vale-ctl -h valeXX:em0
allowing sharing the NIC with other netmap clients.
- THE USER API HAS SLIGHTLY CHANGED (head/cur/tail pointers
instead of pointers/count as before). This was unavoidable to support,
in the future, multiple threads operating on the same rings.
Netmap clients require very small source code changes to compile again.
On the plus side, the new API should be easier to understand
and the internals are a lot simpler.
The manual page has been updated extensively to reflect the current
features and give some examples.
This is the result of work of several people including Giuseppe Lettieri,
Vincenzo Maffione, Michio Honda and myself, and has been financially
supported by EU projects CHANGE and OPENLAB, from NetApp University
Research Fund, NEC, and of course the Universita` di Pisa.
it performs exact match search, regardless of netmask existance.

The SFF-8472 standard defines the information that can be retrieved
from an optic or a copper cable plugged into a NIC, most often
referred to as SFP+. Examples of values that can be read
include the cable vendor's name, part number, date of manufacture
as well as running data such as temperature, voltage and tx
and rx power.
Copious comments on how to use these values with an I2C interface
are given in the header file itself.

option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].
[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested. As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while. Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].

These function do not proceed with freeing of a node, just disconnect

disconnected nodes and frees them.
- Utilize new API in pf_purge_expired_src_nodes().

incorrectly documented at incorrect manual page arp(8). Since new-ARP commit,
the tunable have been consulted only on route addition, and ignored on route

and has no advantages comparing to normal behavior.
This includes the following:
- use separate memory regions for VALE ports
- locking fixes
- some simplifications in the NIC-specific routines
- performance improvements for the VALE switch
- some new features in the pkt-gen test program
- documentation updates
There are small API changes that require programs to be recompiled
