For development, building a driver as kernel module is both convenient
and a time saver (no need for reboot on some change, testing it requires
just kldunload and kldload, a matter of seconds). For some special
cases, it may be even desirable to postpone initializing the network
interface after some action is done (loading a FPGA bitstream may be
required for Zynq/ZynqMP based hardware as an example).
Building is limited to ARM, ARM64 and RISC-V architectures (for Zynq,
ZynqMP, PolarFire Soc based boards, and HiFive based boards are known to
use CGEM at the moment).

The last two drivers that required sppp are cp(4) and ce(4).
These devices are still produced and can be purchased
at Cronyx <http://cronyx.ru/hardware/wan.html>.
Since Roman Kurakin <rik@FreeBSD.org> has quit them, they no
longer support FreeBSD officially. Later they have dropped
support for Linux drivers to. As of mid-2020 they don't even
have a developer to maintain their Windows driver. However,
their support verbally told me that they could provide aid to
a FreeBSD developer with documentaion in case if there appears
a new customer for their devices.
These drivers have a feature to not use sppp(4) and create an
interface, but instead expose the device as netgraph(4) node.
Then, you can attach ng_ppp(4) with help of ports/net/mpd5 on
top of the node and get your synchronous PPP. Alternatively
you can attach ng_frame_relay(4) or ng_cisco(4) for HDLC.
Actually, last time I used cp(4) back in 2004, using netgraph(4)
instead of sppp(4) was already the right way to do.
Thus, remove the sppp(4) related part of the drivers and enable
by default the negraph(4) part. Further maintenance of these
drivers in the tree shouldn't be a big deal.
While doing that, remove some cruft and enable cp(4) compilation
on amd64. The ce(4) for some unknown reason marks its internal
DDK functions with __attribute__ fastcall, which most likely is
safe to remove, but without hardware I'm not going to do that, so
ce(4) remains i386-only.

DXR maintains compressed lookup structures with a trivial search
procedure. A two-stage trie is indexed by the more significant bits of
the search key (IPv4 address), while the remaining bits are used for
finding the next hop in a sorted array. The tradeoff between memory
footprint and search speed depends on the split between the trie and
the remaining binary search. The default of 20 bits of the key being
used for trie indexing yields good performance (see below) with
footprints of around 2.5 Bytes per prefix with current BGP snapshots.
Rebuilding lookup structures takes some time, which is compensated for by
batching several RIB change requests into a single FIB update, i.e. FIB
synchronization with the RIB may be delayed for a fraction of a second.
RIB to FIB synchronization, next-hop table housekeeping, and lockless
lookup capability is provided by the FIB_ALGO infrastructure.
DXR works well on modern CPUs with several MBytes of caches, especially
in VMs, where is outperforms other currently available IPv4 FIB
algorithms by a large margin.
Synthetic single-thread LPM throughput test method:
kldload test_lookup; kldload dpdk_lpm4; kldload fib_dxr
sysctl net.route.test.run_lps_rnd=N
sysctl net.route.test.run_lps_seq=N
where N is the number of randomly generated keys (IPv4 addresses) which
should be chosen so that each test iteration runs for several seconds.
Each reported score represents the best of three runs, in million
lookups per second (MLPS), for two bechmarks (RND & SEQ) with two FIBs:
host: single interface address, local subnet route + default route
BGP: snapshot from linx.routeviews.org, 887957 prefixes, 496 next hops

This change introduces loadable fib lookup modules based on
DPDK rte_lpm lib targeted for high-speed lookups in large-scale tables.
It is based on the lookup framework described in D27401.
IPv4 module is called dpdk_lpm4. It wraps around rte_lpm [1] library.
This library implements variation of DIR24-8 [2] lookup algorithm.
Module provide lockless route lookups and in-place incremental updates,
allowing for good RIB performance.
IPv6 module is called dpdk_lpm6. It wraps around rte_lpm6 [3] library.
Implementation can be seen as multi-bit trie where the stride or number of bits
inspected on each level varies from level to level.
It can vary from 1 to 14 memory accesses, with 5 being the average value
for the lengths that are most commonly used in IPv6.
Module provide lockless route lookups for global unicast addresses
and in-place incremental updates, allowing for good RIB performance.
Implementation details:
* wrapper code lives in `sys/contrib/dpdk_rte_lpm/dpdk_lpm[6].c`.
* rte_lpm[6] implementation contains both RIB and FIB code.
. RIB ("rule_") code, backed by array of hash tables part has been commented out,
as base radix already provides all the necessary primitives.
* link-local lookups are currently implemented as base radix lookup.
This part should be converted to something like read-only radix trie.
Usage detail:
Compile kernel with option FIB_ALGO and load dpdk_lpm4/dpdk_lpm6
module at any time. They will be picked up automatically when
amount of routes raises to several thousand.
