No functional change.
When attempting to document the changed argument types in devstat.9, I
discovered the 20 year old manual page severely mismatched reality even
prior to my simple change. So I took a first cut pass cleaning that up to
match reality. I'm sure I've missed some things; the goal was just to leave
it better than when I started.

A similar note is already present in the description of the
ntpd_sync_on_start variable.
This patch adds a note to the description of the ntpdate_enable variable.
This way it would be easier to spot. Otherwise a user might skip the part
of the manual describing ntpd_sync_on_start if they stop reading after
learning about ntpdate_enable.

jails since FreeBSD 7.
Along with the system call, put the various security.jail.allow_foo and
security.jail.foo_allowed sysctls partly under COMPAT_FREEBSD11 (or
BURN_BRIDGES). These sysctls had two disparate uses: on the system side,
they were global permissions for jails created via jail(2) which lacked
fine-grained permission controls; inside a jail, they're read-only
descriptions of what the current jail is allowed to do. The first use
is obsolete along with jail(2), but keep them for the second-read-only use.

BPF (eBPF) is an independent instruction set architecture which is
introduced in Linux a few years ago. Originally, eBPF execute
environment was only inside Linux kernel. However, recent years there
are some user space implementation (https://github.com/iovisor/ubpf,
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/bpf_lib.html) and kernel space
implementation for FreeBSD is going on
(https://github.com/YutaroHayakawa/generic-ebpf).
The BPF target support can be enabled using WITH_LLVM_TARGET_BPF, as it
is not built by default.

Currently, the per-queue limit is a function of the receive buffer
size and the MSS. In certain cases (such as connections with large
receive buffers), the per-queue segment limit can be quite large.
Because we process segments as a linked list, large queues may not
perform acceptably.
The better long-term solution is to make the queue more efficient.
But, in the short-term, we can provide a way for a system
administrator to set the maximum queue size.
We set the default queue limit to 100. This is an effort to balance
performance with a sane resource limit. Depending on their
environment, goals, etc., an administrator may choose to modify this
limit in either direction.

Add the ioctl PCIOCBARMMAP on /dev/pci to conveniently create
userspace mapping of a PCI device BAR. This is enormously superior to
read the BAR value with PCIOCREAD and then try to mmap /dev/mem, and
should allow to automatically activate the mapped BARs when needed in
future.
Current implementation creates new sg pager for each user mmap
request. If the pointer (and reference) to a managed device pager is
stored in pci_map, we would be able to revoke all mappings on the BAR
deactivation or relocation. This is related to the unimplemented BAR
activation on mmap, and is postponed for the future.
