Apparently for VMware Fusion (and presumably VMware Workstation/Player
since the PR states TSO is broken there too, but I cannot test), the
TCP header pseudo checksum calculated should only include the protocol
(IPPROTO_TCP) value, not also the lengths as the stack does instead.
VMware ESXi seems to ignore whatever value is in the TCP header checksum,
and it is a bit surprising there is a different behavior between the
VMware products. And it is unfortunate that on ESXi we are forced to do
this extra bit of work.

As a prerequisite for multiple queues, the guest must have MSIX enabled.
Unfortunately, to work around device passthrough bugs, FreeBSD disables
MSIX when running as a VMWare guest due to the hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist
tunable; this tunable must be disabled for multiple queues.
Also included is various minor changes from the projects/vmxnet branch.

interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and
finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate
a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.
o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.
__FreeBSD_version bumped.

- Allow the Rx/Tx queue sizes to be configured by tunables
- Bail out earlier if the Tx queue unlikely has enough free
descriptors to hold the frame
- Cleanup some of the offloading capabilities handling
- Use queue size fields from the Tx/Rx queues in various places
instead of (currently the same values) from the softc.
- Fix potential crash in detach if the attached failed to alloc
queue memory.
- Move the VMXNET3_MAX_RX_SEGS define to a better spot.
- Tweak frame size calculation w.r.t. ETHER_ALIGN. This could be
tweaked some more, or removed since it probably doesn't matter
much for x86 (and the x86 class of machines this driver will
be used on).
