Each virtual interface has its own MAC address, queues, and statistics. The dedicated netmap interfaces (ncxgbeX / ncxlX) were already implemented as additional VIs on each port. This change allows additional non-netmap interfaces to be configured on each port. Additional virtual interfaces use the naming scheme vcxgbeX or vcxlX. Additional VIs are enabled by setting the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable to a value greater than 1 before loading the cxgbe(4) or cxl(4) driver. NB: The first VI on each port is the "main" interface (cxgbeX or cxlX). T4/T5 NICs provide a limited number of MAC addresses for each physical port. As a result, a maximum of six VIs can be configured on each port (including the "main" interface and the netmap interface when netmap is enabled). One user-visible result is that when netmap is enabled, packets received or transmitted via the netmap interface are no longer counted in the stats for the "main" interface, but are not accounted to the netmap interface. The netmap interfaces now also have a new-bus device and export various information sysctl nodes via dev.n(cxgbe|cxl).X. The cxgbetool 'clearstats' command clears the stats for all VIs on the specified port along with the port's stats. There is currently no way to clear the stats of an individual VI.
