virtualization work done by Marko Zec (zec@).
This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.
Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.
We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed
so we do not invalidate a lot of outstanding patches again.

cache size limit but this bucket row is empty. Normally we want to
recycle the oldest entry in the bucket row. If there isn't any the
TAILQ_REMOVE leads to a panic by trying to remove a non-existing
element. Fix this by just returning NULL and failing the insert.
This is not a problem as the TCP hostache is only advisory.

In ip6_sprintf no longer use and return one of eight static buffers
for printing/logging ipv6 addresses.
The caller now has to hand in a sufficiently large buffer as first
argument.
A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message
and the resulting discussion:

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel. Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols) and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.
Discussed on: -arch
- Trailing tab/space cleanup
- Remove spurious spaces between or before tabs
This change avoids touching files that Andre likely has in his working
set for PFIL hooks changes for IPFW/DUMMYNET.

Before committing the initial tcp_hostcache I changed them from memcpy()
to conform with FreeBSD style without realizing the difference in argument
definition.
This fixes hostcache operation for IPv6 (in general and explicitly IPv6
path mtu discovery) and T/TCP (RFC1644).

When the hostcache bucket limit is reached the last bucket wasn't
removed from the bucket row but inserted a few lines later at the
bucket row head again. This leads to infinite loop when the same
bucket row is accessed the next time for a lookup/insert or purge
action.

the routing table. Move all usage and references in the tcp stack
from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.
It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination. Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.
tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote
ip address.
It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with
regard to the routing table.
