Implement MK_NVME now that the expression for where NVMe is
complicated. Default it to "yes" for x86 and powerpc64 and
no everywhere else. Use it in camcontrol to define WITH_NVME
for those platforms where we support nvme.
This should fix the newly introduced nvme files to camcontrol
which were building everywhere.

Most kernel memory that is allocated after boot does not need to be
executable. There are a few exceptions. For example, kernel modules
do need executable memory, but they don't use UMA or malloc(9). The
BPF JIT compiler also needs executable memory and did use malloc(9)
until r317072.
(Note that a side effect of r316767 was that the "small allocation"
path in UMA on amd64 already returned non-executable memory. This
meant that some calls to malloc(9) or the UMA zone(9) allocator could
return executable memory, while others could return non-executable
memory. This change makes the behavior consistent.)
This change makes malloc(9) return non-executable memory unless the new
M_EXEC flag is specified. After this change, the UMA zone(9) allocator
will always return non-executable memory, and a KASSERT will catch
attempts to use the M_EXEC flag to allocate executable memory using
uma_zalloc() or its variants.
Allocations that do need executable memory have various choices. They
may use the M_EXEC flag to malloc(9), or they may use a different VM
interfact to obtain executable pages.
Now that malloc(9) again allows executable allocations, this change also
reverts most of r317072.

Lack of functioning link and activity LEDs on devices without an EEPROM
is expected (not a bug). Quoting the EVB-LAN7850 User's Guide:
When configured with the default internal register settings, the
Ethernet Link status LEDs are not enabled. To enable Ethernet Link
status LEDs, enable the EEPROM.
This is an artifact of the different ways in which the evaluation board
can be used. End-user USB-Ethernet adapters using the Microchip LAN78XX
or LAN7515 controllers should use an EEPROM or have OTP configuration,
if their product configuration does not match the boot default register
configuration.

Differences between LAN7800 and LAN7850 from the driver's perspective:
* The LAN7800 muxes EEPROM signals with LEDs, so LED mode needs to be
disabled when reading/writing EEPROM. The EEPROM is not muxed on the
LAN7850.
* The Linux driver enables automatic duplex and speed detection when
there is no EEPROM, for the LAN7800 only. With this FreeBSD driver
LAN7850-based adapters without a configuration EEPROM fail to link
(with or without the automatic duplex and speed detection code), so
I have just followed the example of the Linux driver for now.

Use hash table to speedup lookup of needed softc. Interfaces

Sysctl net.link.gif.parallel_tunnels is removed. The removal was planed
16 years ago, and actually it could work only for outbound direction.
Each protocol, that can be handled by if_gif(4) interface is registered
by separate encap handler, this helps avoid invoking the handler
for unrelated protocols (GRE, PIM, etc.).

the brightest bright colors are used first. Don't use dark grey at all;
replace it by dark green.
Syscons has too many compile-time options, but this one is needed in

The migration to LLVM's lld linker has been in progress for quite some
time - about three years ago I opened an upstream LLVM meta-bug to track
issues using lld as FreeBSD's linker, and about 1.5 years ago requested
the first exp-run with lld as the system linker.
As of r327783 we enabled LLD_BOOTSTRAP by default on amd64, using lld as
the linker to link the kernel and world, but GNU ld was still installed
as /usr/bin/ld.
The vast majority of issues observed when building ports with lld as the
system linker have now been solved, so set LLD_IS_LD by default on amd64
and install lld as /usr/bin/ld. A small number of port failures remain
and these will be addressed in the near future.
Thanks to antoine@ for handling the exp-runs, krion@ for investigating
many port failures and adding LLD_UNSAFE or other fixes or workarounds,
and everyone who helped investigate, fix or tag ports.
