This patch fixes two bugs in sglist(9) and improves robustness of the API via
better semantics if a request to append an address range to an existing list
fails.
- When cloning an sglist, properly set the length in the new sglist instead of
leaving the new list empty.
- Properly compute the amount of data added to an sglist via
_sglist_append_buf(). This allows sglist_consume_uio() to properly update
uio_resid.
- When a request to append an address range to a scatter/gather list fails,
restore the sglist to the state it had at the start of the function call
instead of resetting it to an empty list.
Approved by: re (kib)
Change the 'resid' parameter to sglist_consume_uio() from an int to a
size_t to match the recent type change of the uio_resid member of struct
uio.

- use dpcpu data to track the ifps with packets queued up,
- per-cpu locking and driver flags
- along with .nh_drainedcpu and NETISR_POLICY_CPU.
- Put the mbufs in flight reference count, preventing interfaces
from going away, under INVARIANTS as this is a general problem
of the stack and should be solved in if.c/netisr but still good
to verify the internal queuing logic.

Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by
default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS.
Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be
selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr.
The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both
cases if the lock is held in read or write way. In particular, the
read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls
debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops . Ideally, such sysctls
should be axed or compiled out before release.
Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with
LK_SLEEPFAIL. The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers
of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was
dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions.
This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs
to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock
(further details in the comments inside the patch).
Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with
relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated.

probe. The current device order is unchanged. This commit just adds the
infrastructure and ABI changes so that it is easier to merge later changes
into 8.x.
- Driver attachments now have an associated pass level. Attachments are
not allowed to probe or attach to drivers until the system-wide pass level
is >= the attachment's pass level. By default driver attachments use the
"last" pass level (BUS_PASS_DEFAULT). Driver's that wish to probe during
an earlier pass use EARLY_DRIVER_MODULE() instead of DRIVER_MODULE() which
accepts the pass level as an additional parameter.
- A new method BUS_NEW_PASS has been added to the bus interface. This
method is invoked when the system-wide pass level is changed to kick off
a rescan of the device tree so that drivers that have just been made
"eligible" can probe and attach.
- The bus_generic_new_pass() function provides a default implementation of
BUS_NEW_PASS(). It first allows drivers that were just made eligible for
this pass to identify new child devices. Then it propogates the rescan to
child devices that already have an attached driver by invoking their
BUS_NEW_PASS() method. It also reprobes devices without a driver.
- BUS_PROBE_NOMATCH() is only invoked for devices that do not have
an attached driver after being scanned during the final pass.
- The bus_set_pass() function is used during boot to raise the pass level.
Currently it is only called once during root_bus_configure() to raise
the pass level to BUS_PASS_DEFAULT. This has the effect of probing all
devices in a single pass identical to previous behavior.

Each list describes a logical memory object that is backed by one or more
physical address ranges. To minimize locking, the sglist objects
themselves are immutable once they are shared.
These objects may be used in the future to facilitate I/O requests using
physically-addressed buffers. For the immediate future I plan to use them
to implement a new type of VM object and pager.

- Define flag RM_RECURSE to use instead of LO_RECURSABLE.
- Define flag RM_NOWITNESS to allow an rmlock to be exempt from WITNESS

LO_WITNESS when initializing an rmlock's struct lock.

Introduce for this operation the reverse NO_ADAPTIVE_SX option.
The flag SX_ADAPTIVESPIN to be passed to sx_init_flags(9) gets suppressed
and the new flag, offering the reversed logic, SX_NOADAPTIVE is added.
Additively implements adaptive spininning for sx held in shared mode.
The spinning limit can be handled through sysctls in order to be tuned
while the code doesn't reach the release, after which time they should
be dropped probabilly.
This change has made been necessary by recent benchmarks where it does
improve concurrency of workloads in presence of high contention
(ie. ZFS).
KPI breakage is documented by __FreeBSD_version bumping, manpage and
