switch over to opt-in instead of opt-out for epoch.
Instead of IFF_NEEDSEPOCH, provide IFF_KNOWSEPOCH. If driver marks
itself with IFF_KNOWSEPOCH, then ether_input() would not enter epoch
when processing its packets.
Now this will create recursive entrance in epoch in >90% network
drivers, but will guarantee safeness of the transition.
Mark several tested drivers as IFF_KNOWSEPOCH.

supposedly may call into ether_input() without network epoch.
They all need to be reviewed before 13.0-RELEASE. Some may need
be fixed. The flag is not planned to be used in the kernel for
a long time.
Filesystems which want to use it in limited capacity can employ the
VOP_UNLOCK_FLAGS macro.

The current vnode layout is not smp-friendly by having frequently read data
avoidably sharing cachelines with very frequently modified fields. In
particular v_iflag inspected for VI_DOOMED can be found in the same line with
v_usecount. Instead make it available in the same cacheline as the v_op, v_data
and v_type which all get read all the time.
v_type is avoidably 4 bytes while the necessary data will easily fit in 1.
Shrinking it frees up 3 bytes, 2 of which get used here to introduce a new
flag field with a new value: VIRF_DOOMED.

The hardcoded ident is exactly 20 bytes long but sprintf adds terminating zero,
so there is one byte written out of array bounds.As a fix use strncpy it
appends \0 only if space allows and its behavior matches virtio spec:
When VIRTIO_BLK_T_GET_ID is issued, the device identifier, up to 20 bytes, is
written to the buffer. The identifier should be interpreted as an ascii string.
It is terminated with \0, unless it is exactly 20 bytes long.

Uses of mallocarray(9).
The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.
Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these is likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.
This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.
o Move similar block/networking methods to common file
o Follow r275640 and correct MMIO registers width
o Pass value to MMIO platform_note method.
