about kld filenames for network drivers that requires them to follow the
pattern of if_<foo>. This also fixes the existing documentation in the
manpage which says to use if_oce_load=YES in loader.conf.

This supports e500v1, e500v2, and e500mc. Tested only on e500v2, but the
performance counters are identical across all, with e500mc having some
additional events.

The htree directory index is a highly desirable feature for research
purposes and was meant to improve performance in our ext2/3 driver.
Unfortunately our implementation has two problems:
- It never really delivered any performance improvement.
- It appears to corrupt the filesystem in undetermined circumstances.
Strictly speaking dir_index is not required for read/write support in
ext2/3 and our limited ext4 support still works fine without it.
Regain stability in the ext2 driver by removing it. We may need it back
(fixed) if we want to support encrypted ext4 support but thanks to the
wonders of version control we can always revert this change and bring it
back.

This update brings few features:
o Support for the setmaster/dropmaster ioctls. For instance, they
are used to run multiple X servers simultaneously.
o Support for minor devices. The only user-visible change is a new
entry in /dev/dri but it is useless at the moment. This is a
first step to support render nodes [1].
The main benefit is to greatly reduce the diff with Linux (at the
expense of an unreadable commit diff). Hopefully, next upgrades will be
easier.
No updates were made to the drivers, beside adapting them to API
changes.

- Split the driver into independent pf and vf loadables. This is
in preparation for SRIOV support which will be following shortly.
This also allows us to keep a seperate revision control over the
two parts, making for easier sustaining.
- Make the TX/RX code a shared/seperated file, in the old code base
the ixv code would miss fixes that went into ixgbe, this model
will eliminate that problem.
- The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that
has been requested for some time.
- Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv
- It will also be possible to make your static kernel with only one
or the other for streamlined installs, or both.
Enjoy!

drivers can use it. This avoids some code duplication. Add missing
default case to all switch statements while at it. Also move the
hashing of the IPv6 flow field to layer 4 because the IPv6 flow field
is constant on a per L4 connection basis and not on a per L3 network.

KERNBUILDDIR. Come up with some sensible defaults (though listing them
in kmod.mk may be unwise -- we have no easy way to know what are the
best sensible defaults for everything so we just catch the big stuff).
Append SRCS.${opt} for each option in KERN_OPTS to SRCS to allow easy
conditional compilation. Append any notion of KERN_OPTS_EXTRA to the
list of kernel opts.

In C mode -fms-extensions option enables anonymous structs and unions,
allowing us to use this C11 feature in kernel. Of course, clang supports
it without any extra options.
