Previously before you could call unrhdr_delete you needed to
individually free every allocated unit. It is useful to be able to tear
down the unr without having to go through this process, as it is
significantly faster than freeing the individual units.

All of these arguments are stored in m_ext, so there is no reason
to pass them in the argument list. Not all functions need the second
argument, some don't even need the first one. The second argument
lives in next cache line, so not dereferencing it is a performance
gain. This was discovered in sendfile(2), which will be covered by
next commits.
The second goal of this commit is to bring even more flexibility
to m_ext mbufs, allowing to create more fields in m_ext, opaque to
the generic mbuf code, and potentially set and dereferenced by
subsystems.

When the EVENTHANDLER(9) subsystem was created, it was a documented feature
that an eventhandler callback function could safely deregister itself. In
r200652 that feature was inadvertantly broken by adding drain-wait logic to
eventhandler_deregister(), so that it would be safe to unload a module upon
return from deregistering its event handlers.
There are now 145 callers of EVENTHANDLER_DEREGISTER(), and it's likely many
of them are depending on the drain-wait logic that has been in place for 8
years. So instead of creating a separate eventhandler_drain() and adding it
to some or all of those 145 call sites, this creates a separate
eventhandler_drain_nowait() function for the specific purpose of
deregistering a callback from within the running callback.

Some x86 class CPUs have accelerated intrinsics for SHA1 and SHA256.
Provide this functionality on CPUs that support it.
This implements CRYPTO_SHA1, CRYPTO_SHA1_HMAC, and CRYPTO_SHA2_256_HMAC.
Correctness: The cryptotest.py suite in tests/sys/opencrypto has been
enhanced to verify SHA1 and SHA256 HMAC using standard NIST test vectors.
The test passes on this driver. Additionally, jhb's cryptocheck tool has
been used to compare various random inputs against OpenSSL. This test also
passes.
Rough performance averages on AMD Ryzen 1950X (4kB buffer):
aesni: SHA1: ~8300 Mb/s SHA256: ~8000 Mb/s
cryptosoft: ~1800 Mb/s SHA256: ~1800 Mb/s
So ~4.4-4.6x speedup depending on algorithm choice. This is consistent with
the results the Linux folks saw for 4kB buffers.
The driver borrows SHA update code from sys/crypto sha1 and sha256. The
intrinsic step function comes from Intel under a 3-clause BSDL.[0] The
intel_sha_extensions_sha<foo>_intrinsic.c files were renamed and lightly
modified (added const, resolved a warning or two; included the sha_sse
header to declare the functions).

This driver supports both NTB-to-NTB and NTB-to-Root Port modes (though
the second with predictable complications on hot-plug and reboot events).
I tested it with PEX 8717 and PEX 8733 chips, but expect it should work
with many other compatible ones too. It supports up to two NT bridges
per chip, each of which can have up to 2 64-bit or 4 32-bit memory windows,
6 or 12 scratchpad registers and 16 doorbells. There are also 4 DMA engines
in those chips, but they are not yet supported.
While there, rename Intel NTB driver from generic ntb_hw(4) to more specific
ntb_hw_intel(4), so now it is on par with this new ntb_hw_plx(4) driver and
alike to Linux naming.
