Update the OFED Infiniband core to the version supplied in Linux
version 3.7.
The update to OFED is nearly all additional defines and functions
with the exception of the addition of additional parameters to
ib_register_device() and the reg_user_mr callback.
In addition the ibcore (Infiniband core) and ipoib (IP over Infiniband)
have both been made into completely loadable modules to facilitate
testing of the OFED stack in FreeBSD.
Finally the Mellanox Infiniband drivers are now updated to the
latest version shipping with Linux 3.7.

features. The changes in particular are:
o Remove rarely used "header" pointer and replace it with a 64bit protocol/
layer specific union PH_loc for local use. Protocols can flexibly overlay
their own 8 to 64 bit fields to store information while the packet is
worked on.
o Mechanically convert IP reassembly, IGMP/MLD and ATM to use pkthdr.PH_loc
instead of pkthdr.header.
o Extend csum_flags to 64bits to allow for additional future offload
information to be carried (e.g. iSCSI, IPsec offload, and others).
o Move the RSS hash type enumerator from abusing m_flags to its own 8bit
rsstype field. Adjust accessor macros.
o Add cosqos field to store Class of Service / Quality of Service information
with the packet. It is not yet supported in any drivers but allows us to
get on par with Cisco/Juniper in routing applications (plus MPLS QoS) with
a modernized ALTQ.
o Add four 8 bit fields l[2-5]hlen to store the relative header offsets
from the start of the packet. This is important for various offload
capabilities and to relieve the drivers from having to parse the packet
and protocol headers to find out location of checksums and other
information. Header parsing in drivers is a lot of copy-paste and
unhandled corner cases which we want to avoid.
o Add another flexible 64bit union to map various additional persistent
packet information, like ether_vtag, tso_segsz and csum fields.
Depending on the csum_flags settings some fields may have different usage
making it very flexible and adaptable to future capabilities.
o Restructure the CSUM flags to better signify their outbound (down the
stack) and inbound (up the stack) use. The CSUM flags used to be a bit
chaotic and rather poorly documented leading to incorrect use in many
places. Bring clarity into their use through better naming.
Compatibility mappings are provided to preserve the API. The drivers
can be corrected one by one and MFC'd without issue.
o The size of pkthdr stays the same at 48/56bytes (32/64bit architectures).

compact, iand also allows us to correct the non-uniform naming of
the PCIM_LINK_* defines, making them all consistent amongst themselves.
This is a mostly mechanical rename:

s/PCIM_LINK_/PCIEM_LINK_/g
When this is MFC'd, #defines will be added for the old names to assist

What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

Significantly update tcp_lro for mostly two things:
1) introduce basic support for IPv6 without extension headers.
2) try hard to also get the incremental checksum updates right,
especially also in the IPv4 case for the IP and TCP header.
Move variables around for better locality, factor things out into
functions, allow checksum updates to be compiled out, ...
Leave a few comments on further things to look at in the future,
though that is not the full list.
