This changes the default TCP Congestion Control (CC) to CUBIC.
For small, transactional exchanges (e.g. web objects <15kB), this
will not have a material effect. However, for long duration data
transfers, CUBIC allocates a slightly higher fraction of the
available bandwidth, when competing against NewReno CC.

NOTE: HEADS UP read the note below if your kernel config is not including GENERIC!!
This patch does a bit of cleanup on TCP congestion control modules. There were some rather
interesting surprises that one could get i.e. where you use a socket option to change
from one CC (say cc_cubic) to another CC (say cc_vegas) and you could in theory get
a memory failure and end up on cc_newreno. This is not what one would expect. The
new code fixes this by requiring a cc_data_sz() function so we can malloc with M_WAITOK
and pass in to the init function preallocated memory. The CC init is expected in this
case *not* to fail but if it does and a module does break the
"no fail with memory given" contract we do fall back to the CC that was in place at the time.
This also fixes up a set of common newreno utilities that can be shared amongst other
CC modules instead of the other CC modules reaching into newreno and executing
what they think is a "common and understood" function. Lets put these functions in
cc.c and that way we have a common place that is easily findable by future developers or
bug fixers. This also allows newreno to evolve and grow support for its features i.e. ABE
and HYSTART++ without having to dance through hoops for other CC modules, instead
both newreno and the other modules just call into the common functions if they desire
that behavior or roll there own if that makes more sense.
Note: This commit changes the kernel configuration!! If you are not using GENERIC in
some form you must add a CC module option (one of CC_NEWRENO, CC_VEGAS, CC_CUBIC,
CC_CDG, CC_CHD, CC_DCTCP, CC_HTCP, CC_HD). You can have more than one defined
as well if you desire. Note that if you create a kernel configuration that does not
define a congestion control module and includes INET or INET6 the kernel compile will
break. Also you need to define a default, generic adds 'options CC_DEFAULT=\"newreno\"
but you can specify any string that represents the name of the CC module (same names
that show up in the CC module list under net.inet.tcp.cc). If you fail to add the
options CC_DEFAULT in your kernel configuration the kernel build will also break.

Ability to load-balance traffic over multiple path is a must-have thing for routers.
It may be used by the servers to balance outgoing traffic over multiple default gateways.
The previous implementation, RADIX_MPATH stayed in the shadow for too long.
It was not well maintained, which lead us to a vicious circle - people were using
non-contiguous mask or firewalls to achieve similar goals. As a result, some routing
daemons implementation still don't have multipath support enabled for FreeBSD.
Turning on ROUTE_MPATH by default would fix it. It will allow to reduce networking
feature gap to other operating systems. Linux and OpenBSD enabled similar support
at least 5 years ago.
ROUTE_MPATH does not consume memory unless actually used. It enables around ~1k LOC.
It does not bring any behaviour changes for userland.
Additionally, feature is (temporarily) turned off by the net.route.multipath sysctl
defaulting to 0.

This is slightly stripped down from GENERIC64, as PowerMac G5 machines
are incapable of running in LE mode (so we can skip the Mac drivers.)
While technically POWER6 and POWER7 have the hardware capability of running
in LE mode, they have a tendency to trap excessively when a load/store is
misaligned. (an extremely common occurrence in LE code, and one of the main
reasons I consider BE to be superior, as it turns potential security issues
into immediately obvious mangled numbers.)
Additionally, there was no mechanism to control what endian interrupts
are delivered in, so supporting LE operation on POWER6 and POWER7 involves
some really dirty tricks in the interrupt vectors that I would rather
avoid.
IBM drew the line in the sand at POWER8 some time around 2013, embracing
full support for LE in the platform, and making a push across the board
for LE code to target POWER8 as a minimum requirement. As such, usage of
LE kernels on POWER6 and POWER7 is practically nil, despite it being
technically possible to do.
The so-called "TRUELE" feature bit which is the baseline requirement for
needed for PowerPC64LE was introduced in POWER8.

The TCG implementation of mtmsrd in qemu blindly copies the entire register
to the MSR, instead of the specific bit positions listed in the ISA.
This means that qemu will prematurely switch endian out from under the
running code instead of waiting for the rfid, causing an immediate trap
as it attempts to interpret the next instruction in the wrong endianness.
To work around this, ensure PSL_LE is still set before doing the mtmsrd.
In the future, we may wish to just turn off translation and unconditionally
use rfid to switch to the ofmsr instead of quasi-switching to the ofmsr.
Add a new platform option so this can be disabled. (And so that we can
conditonalize additional QEMU-specific hacks in the platform code.)

Being able to use tmpfs without kernel modules is very useful when building

Including TMPFS also matches arm/GENERIC and the MIPS std.MALTA configs.

difference to NO_MODULES build times (as we do for our minimal RISC-V

Port aacraid driver to big-endian (BE) hosts.
The immediate goal of this change is to make it possible to use the
aacraid driver on PowerPC64 machines that have Adaptec Series 8 SAS
controllers.
Adapters supported by this driver expect FIB contents in little-endian
(LE) byte order. All FIBs have a fixed header part as well as a data
part that depends on the command being issued to the controller.
In this way, on BE hosts, the FIB header and all FIB data structures
used in aacraid.c and aacraid_cam.c need to be converted to LE before
being sent to the adapter and converted to BE when coming from it.
The functions to convert each struct are on aacraid_endian.c.
For little-endian (LE) targets, they are macros that expand
to nothing.
In some cases, when only a few fields of a large structure are used,
the fields are converted inline, by the code using them.

Since the DPAA code is from a third party, with minimal edits, there is no
intent to fix these specific warnings at this time. Hide these warnings to
prevent the noise from hiding real warnings.
This involved several changes:
* Since lld does not like text relocations, replace SMP boot page text relocs
in booke/locore.S with position-independent math, and track the virtual base
in the SMP boot page header.
* As some SPRs are interpreted differently on clang due to the way it handles
platform-specific SPRs, switch m*dear and m*esr mnemonics out for regular
m*spr. Add both forms of SPR_DEAR to spr.h so the correct encoding is selected.
* Change some hardcoded 32 bit things in the boot page to be pointer-sized, and
fix alignment.
* Fix 64-bit build of booke/pmap.c when enabling pmap debugging.
Additionally, I took the opportunity to document how the SMP boot page works.

Debugnet is a simplistic and specialized panic- or debug-time reliable
datagram transport. It can drive a single connection at a time and is
currently unidirectional (debug/panic machine transmit to remote server
only).
It is mostly a verbatim code lift from netdump(4). Netdump(4) remains
the only consumer (until the rest of this patch series lands).
The INET-specific logic has been extracted somewhat more thoroughly than
previously in netdump(4), into debugnet_inet.c. UDP-layer logic and up, as
much as possible as is protocol-independent, remains in debugnet.c. The
separation is not perfect and future improvement is welcome. Supporting
INET6 is a long-term goal.
Much of the diff is "gratuitous" renaming from 'netdump_' or 'nd_' to
'debugnet_' or 'dn_' -- sorry. I thought keeping the netdump name on the
generic module would be more confusing than the refactoring.
The only functional change here is the mbuf allocation / tracking. Instead
of initiating solely on netdump-configured interface(s) at dumpon(8)
configuration time, we watch for any debugnet-enabled NIC for link
activation and query it for mbuf parameters at that time. If they exceed
the existing high-water mark allocation, we re-allocate and track the new
high-water mark. Otherwise, we leave the pre-panic mbuf allocation alone.
In a future patch in this series, this will allow initiating netdump from
panic ddb(4) without pre-panic configuration.
No other functional change intended.
