after the corresponding interface has been destroyed:
(1) Add an ifnet refcount, ifp->if_refcount. Initialize it to 1 in
if_alloc(), and modify if_free_type() to decrement and check the
refcount.
(2) Add new if_ref() and if_rele() interfaces to allow kernel code
walking global interface lists to release IFNET_[RW]LOCK() yet
keep the ifnet stable. Currently, if_rele() is a no-op wrapper
around if_free(), but this may change in the future.
(3) Add new ifnet field, if_alloctype, which caches the type passed
to if_alloc(), but unlike if_type, won't be changed by drivers.
This allows asynchronous free's of the interface after the
driver has released it to still use the right type. Use that
instead of the type passed to if_free_type(), but assert that
they are the same (might have to rethink this if that doesn't
work out).
(4) Add a new ifnet_byindex_ref(), which looks up an interface by
index and returns a reference rather than a pointer to it.
(5) Fix if_alloc() to fully initialize the if_addr_mtx before hooking
up the ifnet to global lists.
(6) Modify sysctls in if_mib.c to use ifnet_byindex_ref() and release
the ifnet when done.
When this change is MFC'd, it will need to replace if_ispare fields
rather than adding new fields in order to avoid breaking the binary
interface. Once this change is MFC'd, if_free_type() should be
removed, as its 'type' argument is now optional.
This refcount is not appropriate for counting mbuf pkthdr references,
and also not for counting entry into the device driver via ifnet
function pointers. An rmlock may be appropriate for the latter.
Rather, this is about ensuring data structure stability when reaching
an ifnet via global ifnet lists and tables followed by copy in or out
of userspace.

Remove the hidden include of opt_route.h and net/route.h from net/vnet.h.
We need to make sure that both opt_route.h and net/route.h are included
before net/vnet.h because of the way MRT figures out the number of FIBs
from the kernel option. If we do not, we end up with the default number
of 1 when including net/vnet.h and array sizes are wrong.
This does not change the list of files which depend on opt_route.h
but we can identify them now more easily.

unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.
For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

Introduce INIT_VNET_*() initializer macros, VNET_FOREACH() iterator
macros, and CURVNET_SET() context setting macros, all currently
resolving to NOPs.
Prepare for virtualization of selected SYSCTL objects by introducing a
family of SYSCTL_V_*() macros, currently resolving to their global
counterparts, i.e. SYSCTL_V_INT() == SYSCTL_INT().
Move selected #defines from sys/sys/vimage.h to newly introduced header
files specific to virtualized subsystems (sys/net/vnet.h,
sys/netinet/vinet.h etc.).
All the changes are verified to have zero functional impact at this
point in time by doing MD5 comparision between pre- and post-change
object files(*).

virtualization work done by Marko Zec (zec@).
This is the first in a series of commits over the course
of the next few weeks.
Mark all uses of global variables to be virtualized
with a V_ prefix.
Use macros to map them back to their global names for
now, so this is a NOP change only.
We hope to have caught at least 85-90% of what is needed
so we do not invalidate a lot of outstanding patches again.

These changes include several bug fixes, but most changes are for

of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other
