NETLINK is going to replace rtsock and a number of other ioctl/sysctl interfaces.
In-base utilies such as route(8), netstat(8) and soon ifconfig(8)
are being converted to use netlink sockets as a transport between
kernel and userland.
In the current configuration, it still possible have the kernel
without NETLINK (`nooptions NETLINK`) and use the aforementioned
utilies by buidling the world with `WITHOUT_NETLINK` src.conf knob.
However, this approach does not cover the cases when person unintentionally
builds a custom kernel without netlink and tries to use the standard userland.
This change adds `option NETLINK` to the default options for each
architecture, fixing the custom kernel issue.
For arm, this change uses `std.armv6` and `std.armv7` (netlink already in)
instead of DEFAULTS.

Summary:
This review ports mlx5 driver, kernel's OFED stack (userland is already enabled), KTLS and krping to powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
krping requires a small change since it uses assembly for amd64 / i386.
NOTE: On powerpc64le RDMA works fine in the userspace with libmlx5, but on powerpc64 it does not. The problem is that contrib/ofed/libmlx5/doorbell.h checks for SIZEOF_LONG but this macro exists on neither powerpc64* nor amd64. Thus, the file silently goes to the fallback function written for 32-bit architectures. It works fine on little-endian architectures, but causes a hard fail on big-endian. It's possible it may also cause some runtime issues on little-endian.
Thus, on powerpc64 I verified that RDMA works with krping.

Most options in kernel config files use "options<space><tab>OPTION".
This allows the option to be commented out without shifting columns.
A few options had two tabs, and some had spaces. Make them consistent.
This is a followup of 692e19cf51 (add netlink to GENERIC@amd64).
Netlink is a communication protocol defined in RFC 3549. It is async,
TLV-based protocol, providing 1-1 and 1-many communications between kernel
and userland. Netlink is currently used in Linux kernel to modify, read and
subscribe for nearly all networking states. Interface state, addresses, routes,
firewall, rules, fibs, etc, are controlled via Netlink.
Netlink support was added in D36002. It has got a number of improvements and
first customers since then:
* net/bird2 got netlink support, enabling route multipath in FreeBSD
* netlink-based devd notifications are being worked on ( D37574 ).
* linux(4) fully supports and depends on Netlink
Enabling Netlink in GENERIC targets two goals.
The first one is to provide stability for the third-party userland applications,
so they can rely on the fact that netlink always exists since 14.0 and potentially 13.2.
Loadable module makes life of the app delepers harder. For example, `net/bird2` can be
either build with netlink or rtsock support, but not both.
The second goal is to enable gradual conversion of the base userland tools
to use netlink(4) interfaces. Converting tools like netstat (D36529), route,
ifconfig one-by-one simplifies testing and addressing the feedback.
Othewise, switching all base to use netlink at once may be too big of a leap.

NOTE: HEADS UP read the note below if your kernel config is not including GENERIC!!
This patch does a bit of cleanup on TCP congestion control modules. There were some rather
interesting surprises that one could get i.e. where you use a socket option to change
from one CC (say cc_cubic) to another CC (say cc_vegas) and you could in theory get
a memory failure and end up on cc_newreno. This is not what one would expect. The
new code fixes this by requiring a cc_data_sz() function so we can malloc with M_WAITOK
and pass in to the init function preallocated memory. The CC init is expected in this
case *not* to fail but if it does and a module does break the
"no fail with memory given" contract we do fall back to the CC that was in place at the time.
This also fixes up a set of common newreno utilities that can be shared amongst other
CC modules instead of the other CC modules reaching into newreno and executing
what they think is a "common and understood" function. Lets put these functions in
cc.c and that way we have a common place that is easily findable by future developers or
bug fixers. This also allows newreno to evolve and grow support for its features i.e. ABE
and HYSTART++ without having to dance through hoops for other CC modules, instead
both newreno and the other modules just call into the common functions if they desire
that behavior or roll there own if that makes more sense.
Note: This commit changes the kernel configuration!! If you are not using GENERIC in
some form you must add a CC module option (one of CC_NEWRENO, CC_VEGAS, CC_CUBIC,
CC_CDG, CC_CHD, CC_DCTCP, CC_HTCP, CC_HD). You can have more than one defined
as well if you desire. Note that if you create a kernel configuration that does not
define a congestion control module and includes INET or INET6 the kernel compile will
break. Also you need to define a default, generic adds 'options CC_DEFAULT=\"newreno\"
but you can specify any string that represents the name of the CC module (same names
that show up in the CC module list under net.inet.tcp.cc). If you fail to add the
options CC_DEFAULT in your kernel configuration the kernel build will also break.

Ability to load-balance traffic over multiple path is a must-have thing for routers.
It may be used by the servers to balance outgoing traffic over multiple default gateways.
The previous implementation, RADIX_MPATH stayed in the shadow for too long.
It was not well maintained, which lead us to a vicious circle - people were using
non-contiguous mask or firewalls to achieve similar goals. As a result, some routing
daemons implementation still don't have multipath support enabled for FreeBSD.
Turning on ROUTE_MPATH by default would fix it. It will allow to reduce networking
feature gap to other operating systems. Linux and OpenBSD enabled similar support
at least 5 years ago.
ROUTE_MPATH does not consume memory unless actually used. It enables around ~1k LOC.
It does not bring any behaviour changes for userland.
Additionally, feature is (temporarily) turned off by the net.route.multipath sysctl

This is slightly stripped down from GENERIC64, as PowerMac G5 machines
are incapable of running in LE mode (so we can skip the Mac drivers.)
While technically POWER6 and POWER7 have the hardware capability of running
in LE mode, they have a tendency to trap excessively when a load/store is
misaligned. (an extremely common occurrence in LE code, and one of the main
reasons I consider BE to be superior, as it turns potential security issues
into immediately obvious mangled numbers.)
Additionally, there was no mechanism to control what endian interrupts
are delivered in, so supporting LE operation on POWER6 and POWER7 involves
some really dirty tricks in the interrupt vectors that I would rather
avoid.
IBM drew the line in the sand at POWER8 some time around 2013, embracing
full support for LE in the platform, and making a push across the board
for LE code to target POWER8 as a minimum requirement. As such, usage of
LE kernels on POWER6 and POWER7 is practically nil, despite it being
technically possible to do.
The so-called "TRUELE" feature bit which is the baseline requirement for
needed for PowerPC64LE was introduced in POWER8.

The TCG implementation of mtmsrd in qemu blindly copies the entire register
to the MSR, instead of the specific bit positions listed in the ISA.
This means that qemu will prematurely switch endian out from under the
running code instead of waiting for the rfid, causing an immediate trap
as it attempts to interpret the next instruction in the wrong endianness.
To work around this, ensure PSL_LE is still set before doing the mtmsrd.
In the future, we may wish to just turn off translation and unconditionally
use rfid to switch to the ofmsr instead of quasi-switching to the ofmsr.
Add a new platform option so this can be disabled. (And so that we can
conditonalize additional QEMU-specific hacks in the platform code.)

Port aacraid driver to big-endian (BE) hosts.
The immediate goal of this change is to make it possible to use the
aacraid driver on PowerPC64 machines that have Adaptec Series 8 SAS
controllers.
Adapters supported by this driver expect FIB contents in little-endian
(LE) byte order. All FIBs have a fixed header part as well as a data
part that depends on the command being issued to the controller.
In this way, on BE hosts, the FIB header and all FIB data structures
used in aacraid.c and aacraid_cam.c need to be converted to LE before
being sent to the adapter and converted to BE when coming from it.
The functions to convert each struct are on aacraid_endian.c.
For little-endian (LE) targets, they are macros that expand
to nothing.
In some cases, when only a few fields of a large structure are used,
the fields are converted inline, by the code using them.
