The benefit of BIT_FLS() is that ffsl() can be implemented with a
count leading zeros instruction which is more widespread available.

Instead of using GID_FT SNS request to get list of registered FCP ports,
use GID_PT to get list of all Nx_Ports, and then use GFF_ID and/or GFT_ID
requests to find whether they are FCP and target capable.
The problem with old approach is that GID_FT does not report ports without
FC-4 type registered. In particular it was impossible to boot OS from
FreeBSD FC target using QLogic FC BIOS, since one does not register FC-4
type even on new cards and so ignored by old code as incompatible.
As a side bonus this allows initiator to skip pointless logins to other
initiators by fetching that information from SNS instead.
In case some switches do not implement GFF_ID/GFT_ID correctly, add sysctls
to disable that functionality. I handled broken GFF_ID of my Brocade 200E,
but there may be other switches with different bugs.
Linux also uses GID_PT, but GFF_ID is disabled by default there, and GFT_ID
is not supported.

AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).
PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386). This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.

stack modules.
It adds support for mangling symbols exported by a module by prepending
a string to them. (This avoids overlapping symbols in the kernel linker.)
It allows the use of a macro as the module name in the DECLARE_MACRO()
and MACRO_VERSION() macros.
It allows the code to register stack aliases (e.g. both a generic name
["default"] and version-specific name ["default_10_3p1"]).
With these changes, it is trivial to compile TCP stack modules with
the name defined in the Makefile and to load multiple versions of the
same stack simultaneously. This functionality can be used to enable
side-by-side testing of an old and new version of the same TCP stack.
It also could support upgrading the TCP stack without a reboot.

Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.
ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.
Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.
Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.
For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.
Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

ENA is a networking interface designed to make good use of modern CPU
features and system architectures.
The ENA device exposes a lightweight management interface with a
minimal set of memory mapped registers and extendable command set
through an Admin Queue.
The driver supports a range of ENA devices, is link-speed independent
(i.e., the same driver is used for 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, etc.), and has
a negotiated and extendable feature set.
Some ENA devices support SR-IOV. This driver is used for both the
SR-IOV Physical Function (PF) and Virtual Function (VF) devices.
ENA devices enable high speed and low overhead network traffic
processing by providing multiple Tx/Rx queue pairs (the maximum number
is advertised by the device via the Admin Queue), a dedicated MSI-X
interrupt vector per Tx/Rx queue pair, and CPU cacheline optimized
data placement.
The ENA driver supports industry standard TCP/IP offload features such
as checksum offload and TCP transmit segmentation offload (TSO).
Receive-side scaling (RSS) is supported for multi-core scaling.
The ENA driver and its corresponding devices implement health
monitoring mechanisms such as watchdog, enabling the device and driver
to recover in a manner transparent to the application, as well as
debug logs.
Some of the ENA devices support a working mode called Low-latency
Queue (LLQ), which saves several more microseconds. This feature will
be implemented for driver in future releases.

The ccr(4) driver supports use of the crypto accelerator engine on
Chelsio T6 NICs in "lookaside" mode via the opencrypto framework.
Currently, the driver supports AES-CBC, AES-CTR, AES-GCM, and AES-XTS
cipher algorithms as well as the SHA1-HMAC, SHA2-256-HMAC, SHA2-384-HMAC,
and SHA2-512-HMAC authentication algorithms. The driver also supports
chaining one of AES-CBC, AES-CTR, or AES-XTS with an authentication
algorithm for encrypt-then-authenticate operations.
Note that this driver is still under active development and testing and
may not yet be ready for production use. It does pass the tests in
tests/sys/opencrypto with the exception that the AES-GCM implementation
in the driver does not yet support requests with a zero byte payload.
To use this driver currently, the "uwire" configuration must be used
along with explicitly enabling support for lookaside crypto capabilities
in the cxgbe(4) driver. These can be done by setting the following
tunables before loading the cxgbe(4) driver:
hw.cxgbe.config_file=uwire
hw.cxgbe.cryptocaps_allowed=-1
