to pull vm_param.h was removed. Other big dependency of vm_page.h on
vm_param.h are PA_LOCK* definitions, which are only needed for
in-kernel code, because modules use KBI-safe functions to lock the
pages.
Stop including vm_param.h into vm_page.h. Include vm_param.h
explicitely for the kernel code which needs it.

'flags' field is added to the end of bpf_if structure. Currently the only
flag is BPFIF_FLAG_DYING which is set on bpf detach and checked by bpf_attachd()
Problem can be easily triggered on SMP stable/[89] by the following command (sort of):
'while true; do ifconfig vlan222 create vlan 222 vlandev em0 up ; tcpdump -pi vlan222 & ; ifconfig vlan222 destroy ; done'
Fix possible use-after-free when BPF detaches itself from interface, freeing bpf_bif memory,
while interface is still UP and there can be routes via this interface.
Freeing is now delayed till ifnet_departure_event is received via eventhandler(9) api.
Convert bpfd rwlock back to mutex due lack of performance gain (currently checking if packet
matches filter is done without holding bpfd lock and we have to acquire write lock if packet matches)

Interface locks and descriptor locks are converted from mutex(9) to rwlock(9).
This greately improves performance: in most common case we need to acquire 1
reader lock instead of 2 mutexes.
- Remove filter(descriptor) (reader) lock in bpf_mtap[2]
This was suggested by glebius@. We protect filter by requesting interface
writer lock on filter change.
- Cover struct bpf_if under BPF_INTERNAL define. This permits including bpf.h
without including rwlock stuff. However, this is is temporary solution,
struct bpf_if should be made opaque for any external caller.

architecture from page queue lock to a hashed array of page locks
(based on a patch by Jeff Roberson), I've implemented page lock
support in the MI code and have only moved vm_page's hold_count
out from under page queue mutex to page lock. This changes
pmap_extract_and_hold on all pmaps.

over writing packet data while user-space was still processing it when
zerocopy is enabled. (Or a panic if invariants was enabled).

buffer kernel descriptors, which is used to allow the buffer
currently in the BPF "store" position to be assigned to userspace
when it fills, even if userspace hasn't acknowledged the buffer
in the "hold" position yet. To implement this, notify the buffer
model when a buffer becomes full, and check that the store buffer
is writable, not just for it being full, before trying to append
new packet data. Shared memory buffers will be assigned to
userspace at most once per fill, be it in the store or in the
hold position.
This removes the restriction that at most one shared memory can
by owned by userspace, reducing the chances that userspace will
need to call select() after acknowledging one buffer in order to
wait for the next buffer when under high load. This more fully
realizes the goal of zero system calls in order to process a
high-speed packet stream from BPF.
Update bpf.4 to reflect that both buffers may be owned by userspace
at once; caution against assuming this.
zero-copy to the store buffer position on the BPF descriptor,
and the 'b' buffer as the free buffer in order to fill them in
the order documented in bpf(4).

overhead of packet capture by allowing a user process to directly "loan"
buffer memory to the kernel rather than using read(2) to explicitly copy
data from kernel address space.
The user process will issue new BPF ioctls to set the shared memory
buffer mode and provide pointers to buffers and their size. The kernel
then wires and maps the pages into kernel address space using sf_buf(9),
which on supporting architectures will use the direct map region. The
current "buffered" access mode remains the default, and support for
zero-copy buffers must, for the time being, be explicitly enabled using
a sysctl for the kernel to accept requests to use it.
The kernel and user process synchronize use of the buffers with atomic
operations, avoiding the need for system calls under load; the user
process may use select()/poll()/kqueue() to manage blocking while
waiting for network data if the user process is able to consume data
faster than the kernel generates it. Patchs to libpcap are available
to allow libpcap applications to transparently take advantage of this
support. Detailed information on the new API may be found in bpf(4),
including specific atomic operations and memory barriers required to
synchronize buffer use safely.
These changes modify the base BPF implementation to (roughly) abstrac
the current buffer model, allowing the new shared memory model to be
added, and add new monitoring statistics for netstat to print. The
implementation, with the exception of some monitoring hanges that break
the netstat monitoring ABI for BPF, will be MFC'd.
Zerocopy bpf buffers are still considered experimental are disabled
by default. To experiment with this new facility, adjust the
net.bpf.zerocopy_enable sysctl variable to 1.
Changes to libpcap will be made available as a patch for the time being,
and further refinements to the implementation are expected.

[1] Certain portions will probably not be MFCed, specifically things
that can break the monitoring ABI.
