network stacks, VNET_SYSINIT:
- Add VNET_SYSINIT and VNET_SYSUNINIT macros to declare events that will
occur each time a network stack is instantiated and destroyed. In the
!VIMAGE case, these are simply mapped into regular SYSINIT/SYSUNINIT.
For the VIMAGE case, we instead use SYSINIT's to track their order and
properties on registration, using them for each vnet when created/
destroyed, or immediately on module load for already-started vnets.
- Remove vnet_modinfo mechanism that existed to serve this purpose
previously, as well as its dependency scheme: we now just use the
SYSINIT ordering scheme.
- Implement VNET_DOMAIN_SET() to allow protocol domains to declare that
they want init functions to be called for each virtual network stack
rather than just once at boot, compiling down to DOMAIN_SET() in the
non-VIMAGE case.
- Walk all virtualized kernel subsystems and make use of these instead
of modinfo or DOMAIN_SET() for init/uninit events. In some cases,
convert modular components from using modevent to using sysinit (where
appropriate). In some cases, do minor rejuggling of SYSINIT ordering
to make room for or better manage events.

(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.
Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.
