This is kinda critical to the performance when the CPU is slow and
network bandwidth is high, e.g. in the hypervisor.

- Add some new hlist macros.
- Update existing hlist macros removing the need for a temporary
iteration variable.
- Properly define the RCU hlist macros to be SMP safe with regard
to RCU.
- Safe list macro arguments by adding a pair of parentheses.
- Prefix the _list_add() and _list_splice() functions with "linux"
to reflect they are LinuxKPI internal functions.

- Add some missing I/O functions for non-i386 and amd64 platforms.
- Stub ioremap() to NULL using a macro to ensure non-existing memory
attributes are not referred when they do not exist.
- Add more header files to linux/list.h to resolve driver compilation
issues on Sparc64 and PowerPC platforms.

- 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.
