This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation allows the UDP source port field to be
used as an entropy field for load-balancing of GRE traffic in transit
networks. Also most of multiqueue network cards are able distribute
incoming UDP datagrams to different NIC queues, while very little are
able do this for GRE packets.
When an administrator enables UDP encapsulation with command
`ifconfig gre0 udpencap`, the driver creates kernel socket, that binds
to tunnel source address and after udp_set_kernel_tunneling() starts
receiving of all UDP packets destined to 4754 port. Each kernel socket
maintains list of tunnels with different destination addresses. Thus
when several tunnels use the same source address, they all handled by
single socket. The IP[V6]_BINDANY socket option is used to be able bind
socket to source address even if it is not yet available in the system.
This may happen on system boot, when gre(4) interface is created before
source address become available. The encapsulation and sending of packets
is done directly from gre(4) into ip[6]_output() without using sockets.

This change is similar to r339646. The callback that checks for appearing
and disappearing of tunnel ingress address can be called during VNET
teardown. To prevent access to already freed memory, add check to the
callback and epoch_wait() call to be sure that callback has finished its
work.

* register handler for ingress address appearing/disappearing;
* add new srcaddr hash table for fast softc lookup by srcaddr;
* when srcaddr disappears, clear IFF_DRV_RUNNING flag from interface,
and set it otherwise;

- Add tracker argument to preemptible epochs
- Inline epoch read path in kernel and tied modules
- Change in_epoch to take an epoch as argument
- Simplify tfb_tcp_do_segment to not take a ti_locked argument,
there's no longer any benefit to dropping the pcbinfo lock
and trying to do so just adds an error prone branchfest to
these functions
- Remove cases of same function recursion on the epoch as
recursing is no longer free.
- Remove the the TAILQ_ENTRY and epoch_section from struct
thread as the tracker field is now stack or heap allocated
as appropriate.

encap_lookup_t method can be invoked by IP encap subsytem even if none
of gif/gre/me interfaces are exist. Hash tables are allocated on demand,
when first interface is created. So, make NULL pointer check before
doing access to hash table.

of needed interface when many gre interfaces are present.
Remove rmlock from gre_softc, use epoch(9) and CK_LIST instead.
Move more AF-related code into AF-related locations. Use hash table to
speedup lookup of needed softc.
Currently it has several disadvantages:
- it uses single mutex to protect internal structures. It is used by
data- and control- path, thus there are no parallelism at all.
- it uses single list to keep encap handlers for both INET and INET6
families.
- struct encaptab keeps unneeded information (src, dst, masks, protosw),
that isn't used by code in the source tree.
- matches are prioritized and when many tunneling interfaces are
registered, encapcheck handler of each interface is invoked for each
packet. The search takes O(n) for n interfaces. All this work is done
with exclusive lock held.
What this patch includes:
- the datapath is converted to be lockless using epoch(9) KPI.
- struct encaptab now linked using CK_LIST.
- all unused fields removed from struct encaptab. Several new fields
addedr: min_length is the minimum packet length, that encapsulation
handler expects to see; exact_match is maximum number of bits, that
can return an encapsulation handler, when it wants to consume a packet.
- IPv6 and IPv4 handlers are stored in separate lists;
- added new "encap_lookup_t" method, that will be used later. It is
targeted to speedup lookup of needed interface, when gif(4)/gre(4) have
many interfaces.
- the need to use protosw structure is eliminated. The only pr_input
method was used from this structure, so I don't see the need to keep
using it.
- encap_input_t method changed to avoid using mbuf tags to store softc
pointer. Now it is passed directly trough encap_input_t method.
encap_getarg() funtions is removed.
- all sockaddr structures and code that uses them removed. We don't have
any code in the tree that uses them. All consumers use encap_attach_func()
method, that relies on invoking of encapcheck() to determine the needed
handler.
- introduced struct encap_config, it contains parameters of encap handler
that is going to be registered by encap_attach() function.
- encap handlers are stored in lists ordered by exact_match value, thus
handlers that need more bits to match will be checked first, and if
encapcheck method returns exact_match value, the search will be stopped.
- all current consumers changed to use new KPI.

Split it into two modules: if_gre(4) for GRE encapsulation and
if_me(4) for minimal encapsulation within IP.
gre(4) changes:
* convert to if_transmit;
* rework locking: protect access to softc with rmlock,
protect from concurrent ioctls with sx lock;
* correct interface accounting for outgoing datagramms (count only payload size);
* implement generic support for using IPv6 as delivery header;
* make implementation conform to the RFC 2784 and partially to RFC 2890;
* add support for GRE checksums - calculate for outgoing datagramms and check
for inconming datagramms;
* add support for sending sequence number in GRE header;
* remove support of cached routes. This fixes problem, when gre(4) doesn't
work at system startup. But this also removes support for having tunnels with
the same addresses for inner and outer header.
* deprecate support for various GREXXX ioctls, that doesn't used in FreeBSD.
Use our standard ioctls for tunnels.
me(4):
* implementation conform to RFC 2004;
* use if_transmit;
* use the same locking model as gre(4);
