The current TSO limitation feature only takes the total number of
bytes in an mbuf chain into account and does not limit by the number
of mbufs in a chain. Some kinds of hardware is limited by two
factors. One is the fragment length and the second is the fragment
count. Both of these limits need to be taken into account when doing
TSO. Else some kinds of hardware might have to drop completely valid
mbuf chains because they cannot loaded into the given hardware's DMA
engine. The new way of doing TSO limitation has been made backwards
compatible as input from other FreeBSD developers and will use
defaults for values not set.

ifa_ifwithdstaddr. For the sake of backwards compatibility, the new
arguments were added to new functions named ifa_ifwithnet_fib and
ifa_ifwithdstaddr_fib, while the old functions became wrappers around the
new ones that passed RT_ALL_FIBS for the fib argument. However, the
backwards compatibility is not desired for FreeBSD 11, because there are
numerous other incompatible changes to the ifnet(9) API. We therefore
decided to remove it from head but leave it in place for stable/9 and
stable/10. In addition, this commit adds the fib argument to
ifa_ifwithbroadaddr for consistency's sake.

A non-global IPv6 address can be used in more than one zone of the same
scope. This zone index is used to identify to which zone a non-global
address belongs.
Also we can have many foreign hosts with equal non-global addresses,
but from different zones. So, they can have different metrics in the
host cache.

with no RSS hash.
When doing RSS:
* Create a new IPv4 netisr which expects the frames to have been verified;
it just directly dispatches to the IPv4 input path.
* Once IPv4 reassembly is done, re-calculate the RSS hash with the new
IP and L3 header; then reinject it as appropriate.
* Update the IPv4 netisr to be a CPU affinity netisr with the RSS hash
function (rss_soft_m2cpuid) - this will do a software hash if the
hardware doesn't provide one.
NICs that don't implement hardware RSS hashing will now benefit from RSS
distribution - it'll inject into the correct destination netisr.
Note: the netisr distribution doesn't work out of the box - netisr doesn't
query RSS for how many CPUs and the affinity setup. Yes, netisr likely
shouldn't really be doing CPU stuff anymore and should be "some kind of
'thing' that is a workqueue that may or may not have any CPU affinity";
that's for a later commit.

* rss_mbuf_software_hash_v4 - look at the IPv4 mbuf to fetch the IPv4 details
+ direction to calculate a hash.
* rss_proto_software_hash_v4 - hash the given source/destination IPv4 address,
port and direction.
* rss_soft_m2cpuid - map the given mbuf to an RSS CPU ("bucket" for now)
These functions are intended to be used by the stack to support
the following:
* Not all NICs do RSS hashing, so we should support some way of doing
a hash in software;
* The NIC / driver may not hash frames the way we want (eg UDP 4-tuple
hashing when the stack is only doing 2-tuple hashing for UDP); so we
may need to re-hash frames;
* .. same with IPv4 fragments - they will need to be re-hashed after
reassembly;
* .. and same with things like IP tunneling and such;
* The transmit path for things like UDP, RAW and ICMP don't currently
have any RSS information attached to them - so they'll need an
RSS calculation performed before transmit.
TODO:
* Counters! Everywhere!
* Add a debug mode that software hashes received frames and compares them
to the hardware hash provided by the hardware to ensure they match.
The IPv6 part of this is missing - I'm going to do some re-juggling of
where various parts of the RSS framework live before I add the IPv6
code (read: the IPv6 code is going to go into netinet6/in6_rss.[ch],
rather than living here.)
Note: This API is still fluid. Please keep that in mind.

This is primarily used for debugging/verification of the various
processing paths in the IP, PCB and driver layers.
Unfortunately the current implementation of the control message path
results in a ~10% or so drop in UDP frame throughput when it's used.

overriding an existing flowid/flowtype field in the outbound mbuf with
the inp_flowid/inp_flowtype details.
The upcoming RSS UDP support calculates a valid RSS value for outbound
mbufs and since it may change per send, it doesn't cache it in the inpcb.
So overriding it here would be wrong.

artifact from the BSD network stack, that used to convert a packet to
native byte order once it is received by kernel.
Other operating systems didn't follow this, and later other BSD

clear that we should fix the bug.
