Previously, the driver resets the device and abandon the requests that
are caught in flight when the dump was initiated. This was problematic
if the system is resumed after the dump is completed.
While that is probably not the typical action, it is simple to rework
the driver to very likely have the device usable after the dump without
making it more likely for the dump to fail. The in flight requests are
simply queued for completion once the dump is finished.

There are two main parts to get it to work, 1) most of the register
accesses need to be word sized, other than the config register which
needs to be byte aligned, and 2) we don't need the platform driver
for this to work on the Foundation Model, allow it to be NULL.

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

- Add support for GEOM direct completion. Depending on the benchmark,
this tends to give a ~30% improvement w.r.t IOPs and BW.
- Remove an invariants check in the strategy routine. This assertion
is caught later on by an existing panic.
- Rename and resort various related functions to make more sense.

Previously, any timeout value for which (timeout * hz) will overflow the
signed integer, will give weird results, since callout(9) routines will
convert negative values of ticks to '1'. For unsigned integer overflow we
will get sufficiently smaller timeout values than expected.
Switch from callout_reset, which requires conversion to int based ticks
to callout_reset_sbt to avoid this.
Also correct isci to correctly resolve ccb timeout.
This was based on the original work done by Eygene Ryabinkin
<rea@freebsd.org> back in 5 Aug 2011 which used a macro to help avoid
the overlow.

The prior change to not enable LRO by default has confused several
people. The configurations where LRO is problematic is not the
typical use case for VirtIO, and due to other issues, this often
requires checksum offloading to be disabled anyways.

Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.
Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).
In detail:
1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.
2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
are mechanical and trivial
3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.
4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.
5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
experimental and disabled by default.
Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).
A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.
Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.
This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.
A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.

The Tx interrupt is now kept disabled in the common case, only
enabled when the number of free descriptors in the queue falls
below a threshold. Transmitted frames are cleared from the VQ
before subsequent transmit, or in the watchdog timer.
This was a very big performance improvement for an experimental
Netmap bhyve backend.

Prevent the Xen and VirtIO balloon drivers from marking pages as
wired. This prevents them from increasing the system wired page count,
which can lead to mlock failing because of hitting the limit in
vm.max_wired.
In the Xen case make sure pages are zeroed before giving them back to
the hypervisor, or else we might be leaking data. Also remove the
balloon_{append/retrieve} and link pages directly into the
ballooned_pages queue using the plinks.q field in the page struct.

- Add stronger checks to the enqueue/dequeue for the pagequeues when
adding and removing pages to them.
Of course, for unmanaged pages the queue parameter of vm_page_unwire() will
be ignored, just as the active parameter today.
This makes adding new pagequeues quicker.
This change effectively modifies the KPI. __FreeBSD_version will be,
however, bumped just when the full cache of free pages will be
evicted.

The header structure consists of two 1-byte elements, but it must always
be describable by a single SG entry. Note for consistency, specify the

These defines are applicable to userland too, but virtqueue.h contains
the kernel virtqueue interface, and is therefore not usable in userland.
Note that Linux places these defines in virtio_ring.h, but I don't want

everything but the virtqueue.

interface, in the r241616 a crutch was provided. It didn't work well, and
finally we decided that it is time to break ABI and simply make if_baudrate
a 64-bit value. Meanwhile, the entire struct if_data was reviewed.
o Remove the if_baudrate_pf crutch.
o Make all fields of struct if_data fixed machine independent size. The
notion of data (packet counters, etc) are by no means MD. And it is a
bug that on amd64 we've got a 64-bit counters, while on i386 32-bit,
which at modern speeds overflow within a second.
This also removes quite a lot of COMPAT_FREEBSD32 code.
o Give 16 bit for the ifi_datalen field. This field was provided to
make future changes to if_data less ABI breaking. Unfortunately the
8 bit size of it had effectively limited sizeof if_data to 256 bytes.
o Give 32 bits to ifi_mtu and ifi_metric.
o Give 64 bits to the rest of fields, since they are counters.

The sglist segment array has grown to a bit over 512 bytes (on
64-bit system) which is more than ideally should be put on the
stack. Instead allocate an appropriately sized sglist and hang
it off each Rx/Tx queue structure.
Bump the maximum number of Tx segments to 64 to make it unlikely
we'll have defragment an mbuf chain. Our previous count was
rounded up to this value since it is the next power of two, so
effective memory usage should not change.
Also only allocate the maximum number of Tx segments if TSO was
negotiated.
