dependency tracking and ordering enforcement.
With this change, per-vnet initialization functions introduced with
r190787 are no longer directly called from traditional initialization
functions (which cc in most cases inlined to pre-r190787 code), but are
instead registered via the vnet framework first, and are invoked only
after all prerequisite modules have been initialized. In the long run,
this framework should allow us to both initialize and dismantle
multiple vnet instances in a correct order.
The problem this change aims to solve is how to replay the
initialization sequence of various network stack components, which
have been traditionally triggered via different mechanisms (SYSINIT,
protosw). Note that this initialization sequence was and still can be
subtly different depending on whether certain pieces of code have been
statically compiled into the kernel, loaded as modules by boot
loader, or kldloaded at run time.
The approach is simple - we record the initialization sequence
established by the traditional mechanisms whenever vnet_mod_register()
is called for a particular vnet module. The vnet_mod_register_multi()
variant allows a single initializer function to be registered multiple
times but with different arguments - currently this is only used in
kern/uipc_domain.c by net_add_domain() with different struct domain *
as arguments, which allows for protosw-registered initialization
routines to be invoked in a correct order by the new vnet
initialization framework.
For the purpose of identifying vnet modules, each vnet module has to
have a unique ID, which is statically assigned in sys/vimage.h.
Dynamic assignment of vnet module IDs is not supported yet.
A vnet module may specify a single prerequisite module at registration
time by filling in the vmi_dependson field of its vnet_modinfo struct
with the ID of the module it depends on. Unless specified otherwise,
all vnet modules depend on VNET_MOD_NET (container for ifnet list head,
rt_tables etc.), which thus has to and will always be initialized
first. The framework will panic if it detects any unresolved
dependencies before completing system initialization. Detection of
unresolved dependencies for vnet modules registered after boot
(kldloaded modules) is not provided.
Note that the fact that each module can specify only a single
prerequisite may become problematic in the long run. In particular,
INET6 depends on INET being already instantiated, due to TCP / UDP
structures residing in INET container. IPSEC also depends on INET,
which will in turn additionally complicate making INET6-only kernel
configs a reality.
The entire registration framework can be compiled out by turning on the
VIMAGE_GLOBALS kernel config option.

from existing functions for initializing global state.
At this stage, the new per-vnet initializer functions are
directly called from the existing global initialization code,
which should in most cases result in compiler inlining those
new functions, hence yielding a near-zero functional change.
Modify the existing initializer functions which are invoked via
protosw, like ip_init() et. al., to allow them to be invoked
multiple times, i.e. per each vnet. Global state, if any,
is initialized only if such functions are called within the
context of vnet0, which will be determined via the
IS_DEFAULT_VNET(curvnet) check (currently always true).
While here, V_irtualize a few remaining global UMA zones
used by net/netinet/netipsec networking code. While it is
not yet clear to me or anybody else whether this is the right
thing to do, at this stage this makes the code more readable,
and makes it easier to track uncollected UMA-zone-backed
objects on vnet removal. In the long run, it's quite possible
that some form of shared use of UMA zone pools among multiple
vnets should be considered.

- Enable setting the RXCSUM and TXCSUM flags for loopback interfaces;
set both by default.
- When RXCSUM is set, flag packets sent over the loopback interface as
having checked and valid IP, UDP, TCP checksums so that higher
protocol layers won't check them.
- Always clear CSUM_{IP,UDP_TCP} checksum required flags on transmit,
as they will have gotten there as a result of TXCSUM being set.
This is done only for packets explicitly sent over the loopback, not
simulated loopback via if_simloop() due to !SIMPLEX interfaces, etc.
Note that enabling TXCSUM but not RXCSUM will lead to unhappiness, as
checksums won't be generated but will be validated.

Otherwise we may not play by the rules of the shared memory protocol,
potentially corrupting packet data or causing userspace applications
that are playing by the rules to spin due to being notified that a
buffer is complete but the shared memory header not reflecting that.
This behavior was seen with pflogd by a number of reporters; note that
this fix is not sufficient to get pflogd properly working with
zero-copy BPF, due to pflogd opening the BPF device before forking,
leading to the shared memory buffer not being propery inherited in the
privilege-separated child. We're still deciding how to fix that
problem.
This change exposes buffer-model specific strategy information in
reset_d(), which will be fixed at a later date once we've decided how
best to improve the BPF buffer abstraction.
