This one mainly avoids mbuf cluster allocation for TCP ACKs during
TCP sending tests. And it gives me ~200Mbps improvement (4.7Gbps
-> 4.9Gbps), when running iperf3 TCP sending test w/ 16 connections.
While I'm here, nuke the unnecessary zeroing out pkthdr.csum_flags.

- Implement the LRO using tcp_lro APIs, and LRO is enabled by default.
- Add several stats sysctl nodes.
- Check IP/TCP length before sending the packet to tcp_lro_rx(), if host
does not provide RX csum information (*); and add an option through
sysctl to always trust host TCP segment csum checks (default is off).
- Add sysctl to control the LRO entry depth; it is disabled by default.
It is used to avoid holding too much TCP segments in driver. Limiting
the LRO entry depth helps a lot in a one/two streams RX test.
This one 3x the RX performance on my local test (3Gbps -> 10Gbps), and
~2x the RX performance over a directly connected 40Ge network (5Gbps ->
9Gbps).
(*) It seems the host stops supplying csum information, once the network
load is high. This still needs investigation...

up to now.
The new sendfile is the code that Netflix uses to send their multiple tens
of gigabits of data per second. The new implementation features asynchronous
I/O, when I/O operations are launched, but not awaited to be complete. An
explanation of why such behavior is beneficial compared to old one is
going to be too long for a commit message, so we will skip it here.
Additional features of new syscall are extra flags, which provide an
application more control over data sent. The SF_NOCACHE flag tells
kernel that data shouldn't be cached after it was sent. The SF_READAHEAD()
macro allows to specify readahead size in pages.
The new syscalls is a drop in replacement. No modifications are required
to applications. One can take nginx binary for stable/10 and run it
successfully on head. Although SF_NODISKIO lost its original sense, as now
sendfile doesn't block, and now means something completely different (tm),
using the new sendfile the old way is absolutely safe.

ioat_acquire_reserve() is an extended version of ioat_acquire(). It
allows users to reserve space in the channel for some number of

Due to FreeBSD system-wide limits on number of MSI-X vectors
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199321),
it may be desirable to allocate fewer than the maximum number
of vectors for an NVMe device, in order to save vectors for
other devices (usually Ethernet) that can take better
advantage of them and may be probed after NVMe.
This tunable is expressed in terms of minimum number of CPUs
per I/O queue instead of max number of queues per controller,
to allow for a more even distribution of CPUs per queue. This
avoids cases where some number of CPUs have a dedicated queue,
but other CPUs need to share queues. Ideally the PR referenced
above will eventually be fixed and the mechanism implemented
here becomes obsolete anyways.
While here, fix a bug in the CPUs per I/O queue calculation to
properly account for the admin queue's MSI-X vector.

Previously nvme(4) would revert to a signle I/O queue if it could not
allocate enought interrupt vectors or NVMe submission/completion queues
to have one I/O queue per core. This patch determines how to utilize a
smaller number of available interrupt vectors, and assigns (as closely
as possible) an equal number of cores to each associated I/O queue.

and t_maxseg. This dualism emerged with T/TCP, but was not properly cleaned
up after T/TCP removal. After all permutations over the years the result is
that t_maxopd stores a minimum of peer offered MSS and MTU reduced by minimum
protocol header. And t_maxseg stores (t_maxopd - TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_APPA) if
timestamps are in action, or is equal to t_maxopd otherwise. That's a very
rough estimate of MSS reduced by options length. Throughout the code it
was used in places, where preciseness was not important, like cwnd or
ssthresh calculations.
With this change:
- t_maxopd goes away.
- t_maxseg now stores MSS not adjusted by options.
- new function tcp_maxseg() is provided, that calculates MSS reduced by
options length. The functions gives a better estimate, since it takes
into account SACK state as well.
