r275358:
Start process of removing the use of the deprecated "M_FLOWID" flag
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 This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from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.
r275483:
Remove M_FLOWID from SCTP code.
r276982:
Remove no longer used "M_FLOWID" flag from mbuf.h and update the netisr
manpage.
Note: The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

When an mbuf allocation fails in the receive path, the mbuf containing the received packet is not sent to the host network stack and is reused again on the receive ring. Remaining received packets in the ring are not processed in that invocation of bxe_rxeof() and defered to the task thread
Initiate error recovery stats fail to update after 3 retries.
Change bxe_panic() ECORE_DBG_BREAK_IF() ECORE_BUG() ECORE_BUG_ON() to
panic only if ECORE_STOP_ON_ERROR is defined.
