structs with placeholders (in the latter case, IFLIB_MAX_TX_BYTES
etc. are also only ever used for these write-only members if at all,
so both these macros and members can just go). Using these spares
may render it possible to merge certain iflib(9) fixes to stable/12.
Otherwise, changes extending struct if_irq or struct if_shared_ctx
in any way would break KBI as instances of these are allocated by
the driver front-ends (by contrast, struct if_pkt_info as well as
struct if_softc_ctx instances are provided by iflib(9) and, thus,
may grow at least at the end without breaking KBI).
- Make the pvi_name in struct pci_vendor_info const char * as device
identifiers in hardware lookup tables aren't to be expected to ever
change at runtime.
- Similarly, make the pci_vendor_info_t of struct if_shared_ctx which
is used to point to the struct pci_vendor_info arrays provided by
the driver front-ends const.
- Remove the ETH_ADDR_LEN macro from iflib.h; this was duplicating
ETHER_ADDR_LEN of <net/ethernet.h> with iflib(9) actually only
consuming the latter macro.
- Make the name argument of iflib_io_tqg_attach(9) const, matching
the taskqgroup_attach_cpu(9) this function wraps as well as e. g.
iflib_config_gtask_init(9).
- Remove the orphaned iflib_qset_lock_get() prototype.
- Remove some extraneous empty lines.
- Remove the complex mechanism to choose between using busdma
and raw pmap_kextract at runtime. The reduced complexity makes
the code easier to read and maintain.
- Fix a bug in the small packet receive path where clusters were
repeatedly mapped but never unmapped. We now store the cluster's
bus address and avoid re-mapping the cluster each time a small
packet is received.
This patch fixes bugs I've seen where ixl(4) will not even
respond to ping without seeing DMAR faults.
I see a small improvement (14%) on packet forwarding tests using
a Haswell based Xeon E5-2697 v3. Olivier sees a small
regression (-3% to -6%) with lower end hardware.

Finishes the conversion of the 40Gb Intel Ethernet drivers to iflib(9) for
FreeBSD 12.0, and fixes numerous bugs in both ixl(4) and iavf(4).
This commit also re-adds the VF driver to GENERIC since it now compiles and
functions.
The VF driver name was changed from ixlv(4) to iavf(4) because the VF driver is
now intended to be used with future products, not just with Fortville/Fort Park
VFs.
A man page update that documents these drivers is forthcoming in a separate
commit.

When poll() is called via netmap, txsync is initially called,
and if there are no available buffers to reclaim, it waits for the driver
to notify of new buffers. Since the TX IRQ is generally not used in iflib
drivers, this ends up causing a timeout.
Work around this by having the reclaim DELAY(1) if it's initially unable
to reclaim anything, then schedule the tx task, which will spin by
continuously rescheduling itself until some buffers are reclaimed. In
general, the delay is enough to allow some buffers to be reclaimed, so
spinning is minimized.

Part 3 of many ...
The VPC framework relies heavily on cloning pseudo interfaces
(vmnics, vpc switch, vcpswitch port, hostif, vxlan if, etc).
This pulls in that piece. Some ancillary changes get pulled
in as a side effect.
