484149def8 Introduce a per-VNET flag to enable/disable netisr prcessing on that VNET.
Add accessor functions to toggle the state per VNET.
The base system (vnet0) will always enable itself with the normal
registration. We will share the registered protocol handlers in all
VNETs minimising duplication and management.
Upon disabling netisr processing for a VNET drain the netisr queue from
packets for that VNET.

Update netisr consumers to (de)register on a per-VNET start/teardown using
VNET_SYS(UN)INIT functionality.

The change should be transparent for non-VIMAGE kernels.

45c203fce2 Remove AppleTalk support.
AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.

Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

2c284d9395 Remove IPX support.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.

Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

6b99842ada Globally replace u_int*_t from (non-contributed) man pages.
The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.

I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

497c391c9b Cross-reference netstat(1) from netisr(9) since you can now use it to
monitor netisr status.

d0ea47437a Update epair(4) to the new netisr implementation and polish
things a bit:
- use dpcpu data to track the ifps with packets queued up,
- per-cpu locking and driver flags
- along with .nh_drainedcpu and NETISR_POLICY_CPU.
- Put the mbufs in flight reference count, preventing interfaces
  from going away, under INVARIANTS as this is a general problem
  of the stack and should be solved in if.c/netisr but still good
  to verify the internal queuing logic.
- Permit changing the MTU to virtually everythinkg like we do for loopback.

Hook epair(4) up to the build.

ed655c8c07 Add an optional callback function that will be invoked when a per-CPU
queue was drained.  It will never fire for a directly dispatched packet.

You will most likely never want to use this for any ordinary netisr usage
and you will never blame netisr in case you try to use it and it does
not work as expected.
