Linux has a slightly different device tree definition for DPAA than originally
done in the FreeBSD driver. This changes the driver to be mostly compatible
with the Linux device tree definitions. Currently the differences are:
bman-portals: compatible = "fsl,bman-portals" (Linux is "simple-bus")
qman-portals: compatible = "fsl,qman-portals" (Linux is "simple-bus")
fman: compatible = "fsl,fman" (Linux is "simple-bus")
The Linux device tree doesn't specify anything for rgmii in the mdio. This
change still requires the device tree to specify the phy-handle, and doesn't yet
support tbi.
These are FreeBSD-specific and were added in r178576 to provide the ability
to pretty-print instances of compound types. However, the print action has
long since been augmented to provide this functionality with a simpler
interface.

Calling into an ifnet implementation with the if_addr_lock already
held can cause a LOR and potentially a deadlock, as ifnet
implementations typically can take the if_addr_lock after their
own locks during configuration. Refactor a sysctl handler that
was violating this to read if_counter data in a temporary buffer
before the if_addr_lock is taken, and then copying the data
in its final location later, when the if_addr_lock is held.

The other CPU might resume and see a still-empty runq and go back to
sleep before sched_add() adds the thread to the runq. This results
in a lost wakeup and a potential hang if the system is otherwise
completely idle.
The race originated due to a micro-optimization (my fault) in 4BSD in
that it avoided putting a thread on the run queue if the scheduler was
going to preempt to the new thread. To avoid complexity while fixing
this race, just drop this optimization. 4BSD now always sets the
"owepreempt" flag when a preemption is warranted and defers the actual
preemption to the thread_unlock of the caller the same as ULE.

In the case where a hardware error is detected during
ioat_process_events, hardware may advance (by one descriptor, probably)
and a subsequent ioat_process_events may race the intended ioat_reset_hw
followup. In that case, the second process_events would observe a
completion update that does not match the software "last_seen" status,
and attempt to successfully complete already-failed descriptors.
Guard against this race with the resetting_cleanup flag.

Newer CPUs (SkyLakes) have updates of 100K size, which is bigger than
current limit 32K. Increase it to 4M but leave the check around to
prevent kernel memory allocator abuse. Some time ago, the memory for
update was allocated by contigmalloc(9), and it was reasonable to be
conservative as much as possible. Since all uses of contigmalloc(9)
appear to be either misunderstanding or too cautious, and were
removed, provide more slack than strictly neccessary.

I see the fllowing panic on AMD when exiting pmcstat:
panic: [pmc,1473] pp_pmcval outside of expected range cpu=2 ri=17
pp_pmcval=fffffffffa529f5b pm_reloadcount=10000
It seems that at least on AMD a performance counter keeps counting after
overflowing. When pmcstat exits it sets counters that it used to
PMC_STATE_DELETED and waits until their use count goes to zero.
amd_intr() wouldn't reload a counter in that state and, thus, a counter
would be allowed to overflow. That means that the counter's value would
be allowed to go outside the expected range.

pages, specificially, dirty pages that have passed once through the inactive
queue. A new, dedicated thread is responsible for both deciding when to
launder pages and actually laundering them. The new policy uses the
relative sizes of the inactive and laundry queues to determine whether to
launder pages at a given point in time. In general, this leads to more
intelligent swapping behavior, since the laundry thread will avoid pageouts
when the marginal benefit of doing so is low. Previously, without a
dedicated queue for dirty pages, the page daemon didn't have the information
to determine whether pageout provides any benefit to the system. Thus, the
previous policy often resulted in small but steadily increasing amounts of
swap usage when the system is under memory pressure, even when the inactive
queue consisted mostly of clean pages. This change addresses that issue,
and also paves the way for some future virtual memory system improvements by
removing the last source of object-cached clean pages, i.e., PG_CACHE pages.
The new laundry thread sleeps while waiting for a request from the page
daemon thread(s). A request is raised by setting the variable
vm_laundry_request and waking the laundry thread. We request launderings
for two reasons: to try and balance the inactive and laundry queue sizes
("background laundering"), and to quickly make up for a shortage of free
pages and clean inactive pages ("shortfall laundering"). When background
laundering is requested, the laundry thread computes the number of page
daemon wakeups that have taken place since the last laundering. If this
number is large enough relative to the ratio of the laundry and (global)
inactive queue sizes, we will launder vm_background_launder_target pages at
vm_background_launder_rate KB/s. Otherwise, the laundry thread goes back
to sleep without doing any work. When scanning the laundry queue during
background laundering, reactivated pages are counted towards the laundry
thread's target.
In contrast, shortfall laundering is requested when an inactive queue scan
fails to meet its target. In this case, the laundry thread attempts to
launder enough pages to meet v_free_target within 0.5s, which is the
inactive queue scan period.
A laundry request can be latched while another is currently being
serviced. In particular, a shortfall request will immediately preempt a
background laundering.
This change also redefines the meaning of vm_cnt.v_reactivated and removes
the functions vm_page_cache() and vm_page_try_to_cache(). The new meaning
of vm_cnt.v_reactivated now better reflects its name. It represents the
number of inactive or laundry pages that are returned to the active queue
on account of a reference.
