This is the foundational change for the routing subsytem rearchitecture.
More details and goals are available in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24141 .
This patch introduces concept of nexthop objects and new nexthop-based
routing KPI.
Nexthops are objects, containing all necessary information for performing
the packet output decision. Output interface, mtu, flags, gw address goes
there. For most of the cases, these objects will serve the same role as
the struct rtentry is currently serving.
Typically there will be low tens of such objects for the router even with
multiple BGP full-views, as these objects will be shared between routing
entries. This allows to store more information in the nexthop.
New KPI:
struct nhop_object *fib4_lookup(uint32_t fibnum, struct in_addr dst,
uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, uint32_t flowid);
struct nhop_object *fib6_lookup(uint32_t fibnum, const struct in6_addr *dst6,
uint32_t scopeid, uint32_t flags, uint32_t flowid);
These 2 function are intended to replace all all flavours of
<in_|in6_>rtalloc[1]<_ign><_fib>, mpath functions and the previous
fib[46]-generation functions.
Upon successful lookup, they return nexthop object which is guaranteed to
exist within current NET_EPOCH. If longer lifetime is desired, one can
specify NHR_REF as a flag and get a referenced version of the nexthop.
Reference semantic closely resembles rtentry one, allowing sed-style conversion.
Additionally, another 2 functions are introduced to support uRPF functionality
inside variety of our firewalls. Their primary goal is to hide the multipath
implementation details inside the routing subsystem, greatly simplifying
firewalls implementation:
int fib4_lookup_urpf(uint32_t fibnum, struct in_addr dst, uint32_t scopeid,
uint32_t flags, const struct ifnet *src_if);
int fib6_lookup_urpf(uint32_t fibnum, const struct in6_addr *dst6, uint32_t scopeid,
uint32_t flags, const struct ifnet *src_if);
All functions have a separate scopeid argument, paving way to eliminating IPv6 scope
embedding and allowing to support IPv4 link-locals in the future.
Structure changes:
* rtentry gets new 'rt_nhop' pointer, slightly growing the overall size.
* rib_head gets new 'rnh_preadd' callback pointer, slightly growing overall sz.
Old KPI:
During the transition state old and new KPI will coexists. As there are another 4-5
decent-sized conversion patches, it will probably take a couple of weeks.
To support both KPIs, fields not required by the new KPI (most of rtentry) has to be
kept, resulting in the temporary size increase.
Once conversion is finished, rtentry will notably shrink.

r343532 noted the difference between "hw.realmem" and "hw.physmem", which I
was previously unaware of. I discovered that neither sysctl had a
description visible via `sysctl -d', so I found where they were defined and
added suitable descriptions. While in the file, I went ahead and added
descriptions for all the others which lacked them. I also updated sysctl.3
accordingly

one call to sysctl(2) from jemalloc startup code. (That also requires
changes to jemalloc, but I plan to push those to upstream first.)

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Specifically, use .Ta instead of tabs to separate column entries. While
here fix a few other things:
- Use .Sy for all column headers (previously only the first column header
was bold)
- Use .Dv to markup constants used for MIB names.
- Use "1234" and "4321" for the byte order descriptions without
thousands separators.
- Mark up header files in the first table with .In.

on extended and extensible structs if_msghdrl and ifa_msghdrl. This
will allow us to extend both the msghdrl structs and eventually if_data
in the future without breaking the ABI.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to allow ports to more easily detect the new API.

Also add xrefs for confstr(3) (as sysconf(3) but for strings) and kvm(3)
(which is a more convenient way to access some of the variables).

The `name' and `newp' arguments can be marked const, because the buffers
they refer to are never changed. While there, perform some other
cleanups:
- Remove K&R from sysctl.c.
- Implement sysctlbyname() using sysctlnametomib() to prevent
duplication of an undocumented kernel interface.
- Fix some whitespace nits.
It seems the prototypes are now in sync with NetBSD as well.
This commit includes the following core components:
* sample configuration file for sensorsd
* rc(8) script and glue code for sensorsd(8)
* sysctl(3) doc fixes for CTL_HW tree
* sysctl(3) documentation for hardware sensors
* sysctl(8) documentation for hardware sensors
* support for the sensor structure for sysctl(8)
* rc.conf(5) documentation for starting sensorsd(8)
* sensor_attach(9) et al documentation
* /sys/kern/kern_sensors.c
o sensor_attach(9) API for drivers to register ksensors
o sensor_task_register(9) API for the update task
o sysctl(3) glue code
o hw.sensors shadow tree for sysctl(8) internal magic
* <sys/sensors.h>
* HW_SENSORS definition for <sys/sysctl.h>
* sensors display for systat(1), including documentation
* sensorsd(8) and all applicable documentation
The userland part of the framework is entirely source-code
compatible with OpenBSD 4.1, 4.2 and -current as of today.
All sensor readings can be viewed with `sysctl hw.sensors`,
monitored in semi-realtime with `systat -sensors` and also
logged with `sensorsd`.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
