Correctly limit npairs passed to vtnet_ctrl_mq_cmd. This ensures that
VQ_ALLOC_INFO_INIT is called with the correct value, preventing the system
from hanging when max_virtqueue_pairs > VTNET_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS.
Add new sysctl requested_vq_pairs which allow the user to configure
the requested number of virtqueue pairs. The actual value will still take
into account the system limits.
Also missing sysctls for the current tunables so their values can be seen.

Since r276367 added the virtio_mmio support vtnet_modevent() gets called twice.
This resulted in a memory leak during load and a panic on unload.
Count the loads so we only initialise once (just like cxgbe(4)), and only clean
up in the final unload.

for all struct bio you get back from g_{new,alloc}_bio. Temporary
bios that you create on the stack or elsewhere should use this before
first use of the bio, and between uses of the bio. At the moment, it
is nothing more than a wrapper around bzero, but that may change in
the future. The wrapper also removes one place where we encode the
size of struct bio in the KBI.

vtnet interfaces are always in promiscuous mode (at least if the
VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_RX feature is not negotiated with the host). if_promisc() on
a vtnet interface returned ENOTSUP although it has IFF_PROMISC set. This
confused the bridge code. Instead we now accept all enable/disable promiscuous
commands (and always keep IFF_PROMISC set).
There are also two issues with the if_bridge error handling.
If if_promisc() fails it uses bridge_delete_member() to clean up. This tries to
disable promiscuous mode on the interface. That runs into an assert, because
promiscuous mode was never set in the first place. (That's the panic reported in
PR 200210.)
We can only unset promiscuous mode if the interface actually is promiscuous.
This goes against the reference counting done by if_promisc(), but only the
first/last if_promic() calls can actually fail, so this is safe.
A second issue is a double free of bif. It's already freed by
bridge_delete_member().

Currently if you ifconfig down a vtnet interface while it is being used
via netmap, the kernel panics due to trying to treat the cookie values
in the virtio rings as mbufs to be freed. When netmap is enabled, these
cookie values are pointers to something else.
Note that other netmap-aware drivers don't seem to need this as they
store the mbuf pointers in the software rings that mirror the hardware
descriptor rings, and since netmap doesn't touch those, the software
state always has NULL mbuf pointers causing the loops to free mbufs to
not do anything. However, vtnet reuses the same state area for both
netmap and non-netmap mode, so it needs to explicitly avoid looking at
the rings and treating the cookie values as mbufs if netmap is
enabled.

Previously, the driver resets the device and abandon the requests that
are caught in flight when the dump was initiated. This was problematic
if the system is resumed after the dump is completed.
While that is probably not the typical action, it is simple to rework
the driver to very likely have the device usable after the dump without
making it more likely for the dump to fail. The in flight requests are
simply queued for completion once the dump is finished.

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.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

Previously, any timeout value for which (timeout * hz) will overflow the
signed integer, will give weird results, since callout(9) routines will
convert negative values of ticks to '1'. For unsigned integer overflow we
will get sufficiently smaller timeout values than expected.
Switch from callout_reset, which requires conversion to int based ticks
to callout_reset_sbt to avoid this.
Also correct isci to correctly resolve ccb timeout.
This was based on the original work done by Eygene Ryabinkin

Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.
Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).
In detail:
1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.
2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
are mechanical and trivial
3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.
4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.
5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
experimental and disabled by default.
Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).
A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.
Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.
This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.
A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.

The Tx interrupt is now kept disabled in the common case, only
enabled when the number of free descriptors in the queue falls
below a threshold. Transmitted frames are cleared from the VQ
before subsequent transmit, or in the watchdog timer.

Netmap bhyve backend.

Prevent the Xen and VirtIO balloon drivers from marking pages as
wired. This prevents them from increasing the system wired page count,
which can lead to mlock failing because of hitting the limit in
vm.max_wired.
In the Xen case make sure pages are zeroed before giving them back to
the hypervisor, or else we might be leaking data. Also remove the
balloon_{append/retrieve} and link pages directly into the
ballooned_pages queue using the plinks.q field in the page struct.

Of course, for unmanaged pages the queue parameter of vm_page_unwire() will

This makes adding new pagequeues quicker.
