To fix the GCC build, remove multiple redundant declarations of
vmci_send_datagram() (the copy in vmci.h as well as the extern definition in
vmci_queue_pair.c were wholly redundant).
Also to fix the GCC build, include a non-empty format string in the vmci(4)
definition of ASSERT(). It seems harmless either way, but adding the
stringified invariant is easier than masking the warning.
The other vmci_kernel_defs.h changes are cosmetic and simply match macros to
existing definitions.

In a virtual machine, VMCI is exposed as a regular PCI device. The primary
communication mechanisms supported are a point-to-point bidirectional
transport based on a pair of memory-mapped queues, and asynchronous
notifications in the form of datagrams and doorbells. These features are
available to kernel level components such as vSockets through the VMCI
kernel API. In addition to this, the VMCI kernel API provides support for
receiving events related to the state of the VMCI communication channels,
and the virtual machine itself.

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.
Reported by: wosch
PR: 225197
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.
The crash can occur when all of the following conditions are true:
- a packet consists of multiple segements (requires LRO enabled)
- there has been a failure to allocate an mbuf for the packet and
the packet has to be dropped
- a host (vmware) still owned at least one segment of the packet,
so the driver had to wait for another interrupt to proceed to
discarding the remaning segment(s)

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

The current TSO limitation feature only takes the total number of
bytes in an mbuf chain into account and does not limit by the number
of mbufs in a chain. Some kinds of hardware is limited by two
factors. One is the fragment length and the second is the fragment
count. Both of these limits need to be taken into account when doing
TSO. Else some kinds of hardware might have to drop completely valid
mbuf chains because they cannot loaded into the given hardware's DMA
engine. The new way of doing TSO limitation has been made backwards
compatible as input from other FreeBSD developers and will use
defaults for values not set.

This requires the VMware vmxnet3 device to flip the start of packet
descriptor's generation before the rest of the packet's descriptors
have been loaded into the Rx ring. I've never observed this behavior,
and it seems to make the most sense not to do it this way. But it is
not a lot of work for the driver to handle this situation just in case.

Apparently for VMware Fusion (and presumably VMware Workstation/Player
since the PR states TSO is broken there too, but I cannot test), the
TCP header pseudo checksum calculated should only include the protocol
(IPPROTO_TCP) value, not also the lengths as the stack does instead.
VMware ESXi seems to ignore whatever value is in the TCP header checksum,
and it is a bit surprising there is a different behavior between the
VMware products. And it is unfortunate that on ESXi we are forced to do
this extra bit of work.

As a prerequisite for multiple queues, the guest must have MSIX enabled.
Unfortunately, to work around device passthrough bugs, FreeBSD disables
MSIX when running as a VMWare guest due to the hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist

interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and
finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate
a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.
o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.
__FreeBSD_version bumped.

- Allow the Rx/Tx queue sizes to be configured by tunables
- Bail out earlier if the Tx queue unlikely has enough free
descriptors to hold the frame
- Cleanup some of the offloading capabilities handling
- Use queue size fields from the Tx/Rx queues in various places
instead of (currently the same values) from the softc.
- Fix potential crash in detach if the attached failed to alloc
queue memory.
- Move the VMXNET3_MAX_RX_SEGS define to a better spot.
- Tweak frame size calculation w.r.t. ETHER_ALIGN. This could be
tweaked some more, or removed since it probably doesn't matter
much for x86 (and the x86 class of machines this driver will
be used on).
