work by yar, thompsa and myself. The checksum offloading part also involves
work done by Mihail Balikov.
The most important changes:
o Instead of global linked list of all vlan softc use a per-trunk
hash. The size of hash is dynamically adjusted, depending on
number of entries. This changes struct ifnet, replacing counter
of vlans with a pointer to trunk structure. This change is an
improvement for setups with big number of VLANs, several interfaces
and several CPUs. It is a small regression for a setup with a single
VLAN interface.
An alternative to dynamic hash is a per-trunk static array with
4096 entries, which is a compile time option - VLAN_ARRAY. In my
experiments the array is not an improvement, probably because such
a big trunk structure doesn't fit into CPU cache.
o Introduce an UMA zone for VLAN tags. Since drivers depend on it,
the zone is declared in kern_mbuf.c, not in optional vlan(4) driver.
This change is a big improvement for any setup utilizing vlan(4).
o Use rwlock(9) instead of mutex(9) for locking. We are the first
ones to do this! :)
o Some drivers can do hardware VLAN tagging + hardware checksum
offloading. Add an infrastructure for this. Whenever vlan(4) is
attached to a parent or parent configuration is changed, the flags
on vlan(4) interface are updated.

struct ifnet most of if_findindex() become a complex no-op. Remove it
and replace it with a corrected version of the four line for loop it
devolved to plus some error handling. This should probably be replaced
with subr_unit at some point.
Switch from checking ifaddr_byindex to ifnet_byindex when looking for
empty indexes. Since we're doing this from if_alloc/if_free, we can
only be sure that ifnet_byindex will be correct. This fixes panics when
loading the ef(4) module. The panics were caused by the fact that
if_alloc was called four time before if_attach was called and thus
ifaddr_byindex was not set and the same unit was allocated again. This
in turn caused the first if_attach to fail because the ifp was not the
one in ifnet_byindex(ifp->if_index).

and move both flags from ifnet.if_flags to ifnet.if_drv_flags, making
and documenting the locking of these flags the responsibility of the
device driver, not the network stack. The flags for these two fields
will be mutually exclusive so that they can be exposed to user space as
though they were stored in the same variable.
Provide #defines to provide the old names #ifndef _KERNEL, so that user
applications (such as ifconfig) can use the old flag names. Using the
old names in a device driver will result in a compile error in order to
help device driver writers adopt the new model.
When exposing the interface flags to user space, via interface ioctls
or routing sockets, or the two fields together. Since the driver flags
cannot currently be set for user space, no new logic is currently
required to handle this case.
Add some assertions that general purpose network stack routines, such
as if_setflags(), are not improperly used on driver-owned flags.
With this change, a large number of very minor network stack races are
closed, subject to correct device driver locking. Most were likely
never triggered.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.
