protocols in inetsw[] and define initially eight spacer slots.
Remove conflicting declaration 'struct pr_usrreqs nousrreqs'. It is
now declared and initialized in kern/uipc_domain.c.
With pr_proto_register() it has become possible to dynamically load protocols
within the PF_INET domain. However the PF_INET domain has a second important
structure called ip_protox[] that is derived from the 'struct protosw inetsw[]'
and takes care of the de-multiplexing of the various protocols that ride on
top of IP packets.
The functions ipproto_[un]register() allow to dynamically adjust the ip_protox[]
array mux in a consistent and easy way. To register a protocol within
ip_protox[] the existence of a corresponding and matching protocol definition
in inetsw[] is required. The function does not allow to overwrite an already
registered protocol. The unregister function simply replaces the mux slot with
the default index pointer to IPPROTO_RAW as it was previously.

families.
The protosw[] array of any particular protocol family ("domain") is of fixed size
defined at compile time. This made it impossible to dynamically add or remove any
protocols to or from it. We work around this by introducing so called SPACER's
which are embedded into the protosw[] array at compile time. The SPACER's have
a special protocol number (32767) to indicate the fact that they are SPACER's but
are otherwise NULL. Only as many protocols can be dynamically loaded as SPACER's
are provided in the protosw[] structure.
The pr_usrreqs structure is treated more special and contains pointers to dummy
functions only returning EOPNOTSUPP. This is needed because the use of those
functions pointers is usually not checked within the kernel because until now it
was assumed to be a valid function pointer. Instead of fixing all potential
callers we just return a proper error code.
Two new functions provide a clean API to register and unregister a protocol. The
register function expects a pointer to a valid and complete struct protosw including
a pointer to struct pru_usrreqs provided by the caller. Upon successful registration
the pr_init() function will be called to finish initialization of the protocol. The
unregister function restores the SPACER in place of the protocol again. It is the
responseability of the caller to ensure proper closing of all sockets and freeing
of memory allocation by the unloading protocol.

frames. BGE hardware with the rx alignment bug will still be handled by the
calls to m_adj() that already exist. m_adj() is probably better suited for
this task anyways. Just as with if_em, this saves a malloc + several locks
per packet and prevents unneeded data copying within busdma.
Since the e1000 DMA engines hava no constraints on the alignment of buffer
transfers, there is no reason to tell busdma that there is. This save a
minimum of 1 malloc call per packet, which translates to eliminating 4 locks.
It also means that buffers are not needlessly bounced when transfered. The
end result is a 38% improvement in pps in a 4 way bridging environment.

(usually taking 20 seconds to transmit a packet).. no longer fall back
to only transmitting one packet (instead of the entire queue) after we
have processed the entire send queue... I have no idea why we didn't
start seeing this problem ~6 years ago when this code was introduced...
(sorele()/sotryfree()):
- This permits the caller to acquire the accept mutex before the socket
mutex, avoiding sofree() having to drop the socket mutex and re-order,
which could lead to races permitting more than one thread to enter
sofree() after a socket is ready to be free'd.
- This also covers clearing of the so_pcb weak socket reference from
the protocol to the socket, preventing races in clearing and
evaluation of the reference such that sofree() might be called more
than once on the same socket.
This appears to close a race I was able to easily trigger by repeatedly
opening and resetting TCP connections to a host, in which the
tcp_close() code called as a result of the RST raced with the close()
of the accepted socket in the user process resulting in simultaneous
attempts to de-allocate the same socket. The new locking increases
the overhead for operations that may potentially free the socket, so we
will want to revise the synchronization strategy here as we normalize
the reference counting model for sockets. The use of the accept mutex
in freeing of sockets that are not listen sockets is primarily
motivated by the potential need to remove the socket from the
incomplete connection queue on its parent (listen) socket, so cleaning
up the reference model here may allow us to substantially weaken the
synchronization requirements.
