Hans Petter Selasky e936121d31 Add optimizing LRO wrapper:
- Add optimizing LRO wrapper which pre-sorts all incoming packets
  according to the hash type and flowid. This prevents exhaustion of
  the LRO entries due to too many connections at the same time.
  Testing using a larger number of higher bandwidth TCP connections
  showed that the incoming ACK packet aggregation rate increased from
  ~1.3:1 to almost 3:1. Another test showed that for a number of TCP
  connections greater than 16 per hardware receive ring, where 8 TCP
  connections was the LRO active entry limit, there was a significant
  improvement in throughput due to being able to fully aggregate more
  than 8 TCP stream. For very few very high bandwidth TCP streams, the
  optimizing LRO wrapper will add CPU usage instead of reducing CPU
  usage. This is expected. Network drivers which want to use the
  optimizing LRO wrapper needs to call "tcp_lro_queue_mbuf()" instead
  of "tcp_lro_rx()" and "tcp_lro_flush_all()" instead of
  "tcp_lro_flush()". Further the LRO control structure must be
  initialized using "tcp_lro_init_args()" passing a non-zero number
  into the "lro_mbufs" argument.

- Make LRO statistics 64-bit. Previously 32-bit integers were used for
  statistics which can be prone to wrap-around. Fix this while at it
  and update all SYSCTL's which expose LRO statistics.

- Ensure all data is freed when destroying a LRO control structures,
  especially leftover LRO entries.

- Reduce number of memory allocations needed when setting up a LRO
  control structure by precomputing the total amount of memory needed.

- Add own memory allocation counter for LRO.

- Bump the FreeBSD version to force recompilation of all KLDs due to
  change of the LRO control structure size.
