We found routing performance dropped significantly when configuring
FreeBSD as a router, we are applying the following changes in order to
resolve those issues and hopefully perform better.
- don't prefetch the flags array, we usually don't need it
- prefetch the next cache line of each of the software descriptor arrays as
well as the first cache line of each of the next four packets' mbufs and
clusters
- reduce max copy size to 63 bytes
- convert rx soft descriptors from array of structures to a structure of arrays
- update copyrights

success and a good value. Only then try to use it and set the MSIX_ENABLE
bit.
With the current em(4) driver we have observed failures in this case in a
specific environment when pci_find_cap() would not return the assumed
value, which meant we ended up writing to PCI register 2 (PCI_DEVICE_ID)
which is read-only.

Add internal tracking of smp startup status to reliably figure out
what methods are to be used to get gtaskqueue up and running.
e1000:
Calculating this pointer gives undefined behaviour when (last == -1)
(it is before the buffer). The pointer is always followed. Panics
occurred when it points to an unmapped page. Otherwise, the pointed-to
garbage tends to not have the E1000_TXD_STAT_DD bit set in it, so in the
broken case the loop was usually null and the function just returned, and
this was acidentally correct.

- Move group task queue into kern/subr_gtaskqueue.c
- Change intr_enable to return an int so it can be detected if it's not
implemented
- Allow different TX/RX queues per set to be different sizes
- Don't split up TX mbufs before transmit
- Allow a completion queue for TX as well as RX
- Pass the RX budget to isc_rxd_available() to allow an earlier return

It looks like these sysctls were copy-pasted from netmap. Most were changed
from 'ixl_' prefix to 'iflib_', but this one was missed.
Fix the "can't re-use a leaf (ixl_rx_miss_bufs)!" warning.

mp_maxid or CPU_FOREACH() as appropriate. This fixes a number of places in
the kernel that assumed CPU IDs are dense in [0, mp_ncpus) and would try,
for example, to run tasks on CPUs that did not exist or to allocate too
few buffers on systems with sparse CPU IDs in which there are holes in the
range and mp_maxid > mp_ncpus. Such circumstances generally occur on
systems with SMT, but on which SMT is disabled. This patch restores system
operation at least on POWER8 systems configured in this way.
There are a number of other places in the kernel with potential problems
in these situations, but where sparse CPU IDs are not currently known
to occur, mostly in the ARM machine-dependent code. These will be fixed
in a follow-up commit after the stable/11 branch.

Due to an accidental mismatch between allocation and release in the slow path
of iflib_if_transmit, if a caller passed 9-16 mbufs to the routine, the mbuf
array would be leaked.
Fix the mismatch by removing the magic numbers in favor of nitems() on the
stack array. According to mmacy, this leak is unlikely.

"iflib is a library to eliminate the need for frequently duplicated device
independent logic propagated (poorly) across many network drivers."
Participation is purely optional. The IFLIB kernel config option is
provided for drivers that want to transition between legacy and iflib
modes of operation. ixl and ixgbe driver conversions will be committed
shortly. We hope to see participation from the Broadcom and maybe
Chelsio drivers in the near future.
