- extend ddb commands to print destination address or 4-tuples
- don't parse ports in ulp header if FL_HASH_ALL is not passed
- add kern_flowtable_insert to enable more generic use of flowtable

- don't hash loopback addresses
- cleanup whitespace
- keep statistics per-cpu for per-cpu flowtables to avoid cache line contention
- add sysctls to accumulate stats and report aggregate

specific routes. When the routing table changes, for example,
when a new route with a more specific prefix is inserted into the
routing table, the flow-table is not updated to reflect that change.
As such existing connections cannot take advantage of the new path.
In some cases the path is broken. This patch will update the affected
flow-table entries when a more specific route is added. The route
entry is properly marked when a route is deleted from the table.
In this case, when the flow-table performs a search, the stale
entry is updated automatically. Therefore this patch is not
necessary for route deletion.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

This change should make options VIMAGE kernel builds usable again,
to some extent at least.
Note that the size of struct vnet_inet has changed, though in
accordance with one-bump-per-day policy we didn't update the
__FreeBSD_version number, given that it has already been touched
by r194640 a few hours ago.

Remove the accessor functions for the compiled out case, just returning
"unavail" values. Remove the kernel conditional from the header file as
it is no longer needed, only leaving the externs.
Hide the improperly virtualized SYSCTL/TUNABLE for the flowtable size

- Currently compiled in to i386 and amd64 but disabled by default, it can be enabled at
runtime with 'sysctl net.inet.flowtable.enable=1'.
- Embedded users can remove it entirely from the kernel by adding 'nooption FLOWTABLE' to
their kernel config files.
- A minimal hookup will be added to ip_output in a subsequent commit. I would like to see
more review before bringing in changes that require more churn.
