Eliminate bpf_buffer_alloc() and allocate BPF buffers on descriptor creation and BIOCSBLEN ioctl.
This permits us not to allocate buffers inside bpf_attachd() which is protected by global lock.

'flags' field is added to the end of bpf_if structure. Currently the only
flag is BPFIF_FLAG_DYING which is set on bpf detach and checked by bpf_attachd()
Problem can be easily triggered on SMP stable/[89] by the following command (sort of):
'while true; do ifconfig vlan222 create vlan 222 vlandev em0 up ; tcpdump -pi vlan222 & ; ifconfig vlan222 destroy ; done'
Fix possible use-after-free when BPF detaches itself from interface, freeing bpf_bif memory,
while interface is still UP and there can be routes via this interface.
Freeing is now delayed till ifnet_departure_event is received via eventhandler(9) api.
Convert bpfd rwlock back to mutex due lack of performance gain (currently checking if packet
matches filter is done without holding bpfd lock and we have to acquire write lock if packet matches)

Lagg(4) restricts the type of packet that may be sent directly to a child
port, to avoid undesired output from accidental misconfiguration.
Previously only ETHERTYPE_PAE was permitted.
BPF writes to a lagg(4) child port are presumably intentional, so just
allow them, while still blocking other packets that should take the
aggregation path.

Linux and Solaris (at least OpenSolaris) has PF_PACKET socket families to send
raw ethernet frames. The only FreeBSD interface that can be used to send raw frames
is BPF. As a result, many programs like cdpd, lldpd, various dhcp stuff uses
BPF only to send data. This leads us to the situation when software like cdpd,
being run on high-traffic-volume interface significantly reduces overall performance
since we have to acquire additional locks for every packet.
Here we add sysctl that changes BPF behavior in the following way:
If program came and opens BPF socket without explicitly specifyin read filter we
assume it to be write-only and add it to special writer-only per-interface list.
This makes bpf_peers_present() return 0, so no additional overhead is introduced.
After filter is supplied, descriptor is added to original per-interface list permitting
packets to be captured.
Unfortunately, pcap_open_live() sets catch-all filter itself for the purpose of
setting snap length.
Fortunately, most programs explicitly sets (event catch-all) filter after that.
tcpdump(1) is a good example.
So a bit hackis approach is taken: we upgrade description only after second
BIOCSETF is received.
Sysctl is named net.bpf.optimize_writers and is turned off by default.
- While here, document all sysctl variables in bpf.4

Interface locks and descriptor locks are converted from mutex(9) to rwlock(9).
This greately improves performance: in most common case we need to acquire 1
reader lock instead of 2 mutexes.
- Remove filter(descriptor) (reader) lock in bpf_mtap[2]
This was suggested by glebius@. We protect filter by requesting interface
writer lock on filter change.
- Cover struct bpf_if under BPF_INTERNAL define. This permits including bpf.h
without including rwlock stuff. However, this is is temporary solution,
struct bpf_if should be made opaque for any external caller.

rather than the header file. With this also move RT_MAXFIBS and
RT_NUMFIBS into the implemantion to avoid further usage in other
code. rt_numfibs is all that should be needed.
This allows users to change the number of FIBs from 1..RT_MAXFIBS(16)
dynamically using the tunable without the need to change the kernel
config for the maximum anymore. This means that thet multi-FIB
feature is now fully available with GENERIC kernels.
The kernel option ROUTETABLES can still be used to set the default
numbers of FIBs in absence of the tunable.

the index of the first non-released buffer in the ring

instead of processing them immediately)
using the o32 ABI. This mostly follows nwhitehorn's lead in implementing
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 on powerpc64.
o) Add a new type to the freebsd32 compat layer, time32_t, which is time_t in the
32-bit ABI being used. Since the MIPS port is relatively-new, even the 32-bit
ABIs use a 64-bit time_t.
o) Because time{spec,val}32 has the same size and layout as time{spec,val} on MIPS
with 32-bit compatibility, then, disable some code which assumes otherwise
wrongly when built for MIPS. A more general macro to check in this case would
seem like a good idea eventually. If someone adds support for using n32
userland with n64 kernels on MIPS, then they will have to add a variety of
flags related to each piece of the ABI that can vary. That's probably the
right time to generalize further.
o) Add MIPS to the list of architectures which use PAD64_REQUIRED in the
freebsd32 compat code. Probably this should be generalized at some point.

USERSPACE:
1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;
2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);
3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
to help detect mismatches.
4. update the manual page for the two changes above;
5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap
KERNEL:
1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
to the 'struct netmap_adapter';
2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes
3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;
4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
in the ixgbe driver.
Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.
