* Remove &ifpp from ip6_output() in favor of ri->ri_nh_info
* Provide different wrappers to in6_selectsrc:
Currently it is used by 2 differenct type of customers:
- socket-based one, which all are unsure about provided
address scope and
- in-kernel ones (ND code mostly), which don't have
any sockets, options, crededentials, etc.
So, we provide two different wrappers to in6_selectsrc()
returning select source.
* Make different versions of selectroute():
Currenly selectroute() is used in two scenarios:
- SAS, via in6_selecsrc() -> in6_selectif() -> selectroute()
- output, via in6_output -> wrapper -> selectroute()
Provide different versions for each customer:
- fib6_lookup_nh_basic()-based in6_selectif() which is
capable of returning interface only, without MTU/NHOP/L2
calculations
- full-blown fib6_selectroute() with cached route/multipath/
MTU/L2
* Stop using routing table for link-local address lookups
* Add in6_ifawithifp_lla() to make for-us check faster for link-local
* Add in6_splitscope / in6_setllascope for faster embed/deembed scopes
This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.
Many thanks to Arthur Mesh who did early grunt work, and who got caught in the crossfire rather more than he deserved to.
My thanks also to folks who helped me thresh this out on whiteboards and in the odd "Hallway track", or otherwise.
My Nomex pants are on. Let the feedback commence!

vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

The goals of the new API is to provide consumers with minimal
needed information, but as fast as possible. So we provide
full nexthop info copied into alighed on-cache structure
instead of rte/ia pointers, their refcounts and locks.
This does not provide solution for protecting from egress
ifp destruction, but does not make it any worse.
Current changes:
nhops:
Add fib4_lookup_prepend() function which stores either full
L2+L3 prepend info (e.g. MAC header in case of plain IPv4) or
L3 info with NH_FLAGS_L2_INCOMPLETE flag indicating that no valid L2
info exists and we have to take "slow" path.
ip_output:
Currently ip[ 46]_output consumers use 'struct route' for
the following purposes:
1) double lookup avoidance(route caching)
2) plain route caching
3) get path MTU to be able to notify source.
The former pattern is mostly used by various tunnels
(gif, gre, stf). (Actually, gre is the only remaining,
others were already converted. Their locking model did
not scale good enogh to benefit from such caching, so
we have (temporarily) removed it without any performance
loss).
Plain route caching used by SCTP is simply wrong and should be removed.
Temporary break it for now just to be able to compile.
Optimize path mtu reporting by providing it in new 'route_info' stucture.
Minimize games with @ia locking/refcounting for route lookup:
add special nhop[46]_extended structure to store more route attributes.
Pointer to given structure can be passed to fib4_lookup_prepend() to indicate
we want this info (we actually needs it for UDP and raw IP).
ether_output:
Provide light-weight ether_output2() call to deal with
transmitting L2 frame (e.g. properly handle broadcast/simloop/bridge/
other L2 hooks before actually transmitting frame by if_transmit()).
Add a hack based on new RT_NHOP ro_flag to distinguish which version should
we call. Better way is probably to add a new "if_output_frame" driver
callbacks.
Next steps:
* Convert ip_fastfwd part
* Implement auto-growing array for per-radix nexthops
* Implement LLE tracking for nexthop calculations to be able to
immediately provide all necessary info in single route lookup
for gateway routes
* Switch radix locking scheme to runtime/cfg lock
* Implement multipath support for rtsock
* Implement "tracked nexthops" for tunnels (e.g. _proper_
nexthop caching)
* Add IPv6 support for remaining parts (postponed not to
interfere with user/ae/inet6 branch)
* Consider adding "if_output_frame" driver call to
ease logical frame pushing.
o convert to if_transmit;
o use rmlock to protect access to gif_softc;
o use sx lock to protect from concurrent ioctls;
o remove a lot of unneeded and duplicated code;
o remove cached route support (it won't work with concurrent io);
o style fixes.

This seems to allow us to pass a universe with either clang or gcc
after r272244 (and r272260) and probably makes it easier to untabgle
these chained #includes in the future.
if_var.h has the expected on and if_var.h include ifq.h and thus we get
duplicates. It seems only one cavium ethernet file actually includes ifq.h
directly which might be another cleanup to be done but need to test first.
