When destroying a character device the si_devsw field is set to NULL
before all references are gone, to indicate the character device is
going away. This can cause a NULL-dereference fault inside physio().
The callers of physio() should own a thread reference on the cdev and
if si_devsw is seen as non-NULL, it is usable during the execution of
the function. Else an ENXIO error code is returned.

- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.

AMD64 pmap assumes ranges will be in the DMAP, which isn't necessarily
true for NTB memory windows (especially 64-bit BARs).

must be enabled by root and is only R/W root, so this is approximately
as dangerous as /dev/mem and /dev/kmem.

Using .USEBEFORE had the unintended side-effect of changing the directory for
the real target ran in the current directory. For example this meant that
the 'make clean' would run in one of the SUBDIR.

suggested by RFC 6675.
Currently differnt places in the stack tries to guess this in suboptimal ways.
The main problem is that current calculations don't take sacked bytes into
account. Sacked bytes are the bytes receiver acked via SACK option. This is
suboptimal because it assumes that network has more outstanding (unacked) bytes
than the actual value and thus sends less data by setting congestion window
lower than what's possible which in turn may cause slower recovery from losses.
As an example, one of the current calculations looks something like this:
snd_nxt - snd_fack + sackhint.sack_bytes_rexmit
New proposal from RFC 6675 is:
snd_max - snd_una - sackhint.sacked_bytes + sackhint.sack_bytes_rexmit
which takes sacked bytes into account which is a new addition to the sackhint
struct. Only thing we are missing from RFC 6675 is isLost() i.e. segment being
considered lost and thus adjusting pipe based on that which makes this
calculation a bit on conservative side.
The approach is very simple. We already process each ack with sack info in
tcp_sack_doack() and extract sack blocks/holes out of it. We'd now also track
this new variable sacked_bytes which keeps track of total sacked bytes reported.
One downside to this approach is that we may get incorrect count of sacked_bytes
if the other end decides to drop sack info in the ack because of memory pressure
or some other reasons. But in this (not very likely) case also the pipe
calculation would be conservative which is okay as opposed to being aggressive
in sending packets into the network.
Next step is to use this more accurate pipe estimation to drive congestion
window adjustments.

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3971
For the most of chips (except anscient ones) port handlers have no relation
to port IDs. In such situation old code scanning first 125 handlers was
quite naive. Instead of doing that, send to chip single request to get full
list of port handlers available on specific virtual port and scan only them.
Old code had problems with case of several virtual ports enabled, when port
handlers allocated from global address space could easily go above 125.
This change was successfully tested on 23xx, 24xx and 25xx chips in loop
mode with 4 virtual initiator ports, each seing 50 virtual target ports.

listen, and connect. The listen program is a simple server that
accepts and closes sockets, until a fixed limit, then sets the listen
queue to 0 and counts how many remaining connections it processes.
The connect program repeatedly opens connections and closes them
serving as the driver for the listen program.
