vxlan creates a virtual LAN by encapsulating the inner Ethernet frame in
a UDP packet. This implementation is based on RFC7348.
Currently, the IPv6 support is not fully compliant with the specification:
we should be able to receive UPDv6 packets with a zero checksum, but we
need to support RFC6935 first. Patches for this should come soon.
Encapsulation protocols such as vxlan emphasize the need for the FreeBSD
network stack to support batching, GRO, and GSO. Each frame has to make
two trips through the network stack, and each frame will be at most MTU
sized. Performance suffers accordingly.
Some latest generation NICs have begun to support vxlan HW offloads that
we should also take advantage of. VIMAGE support should also be added soon.

we can't easily predict (in current parsing model)
if the keyword is ipfw(8) reserved keyword or port name.
Checking proto database via getprotobyname() consumes a lot of
CPU and leads to tens of seconds for parsing large ruleset.
Use list of reserved keywords and check them as pre-requisite
before doing getprotobyname().

The FreeBSD is the only system that has the FEC protocol, that is a simple alias
to loadbalance protocol and does not implement the ancient Cisco FEC standard.
From now on, we remove the fec protocol from the documentation and keep the FEC
code only for compatibility.

devq_openings counter lost its meaning after allocation queues has gone.
held counter is still meaningful, but problematic to update due to separate
locking of CCB allocation and queuing.
To fix that replace devq_openings counter with allocated counter. held is
now calculated on request as difference between number of allocated, queued
and active CCBs.

Kernel changes:
* Split kernel/userland nat structures eliminating IPFW_INTERNAL hack.
* Add IP_FW_NAT44_* codes resemblin old ones.
* Assume that instances can be named (no kernel support currently).
* Use both UH+WLOCK locks for all configuration changes.
* Provide full ABI support for old sockopts.
Userland changes:
* Use IP_FW_NAT44_* codes for nat operations.
* Remove undocumented ability to show ranges of nat "log" entries.

for doing additional SIOCGI2C call for system with 4k vlans.
* Determine appropriate handler (SFP/QSFP) by reading identification

of checking driver name.
