o do not clear if_softc at the top of ieee80211_detach; we no longer need
this because we are safeguarded against calls coming back through if_ioctl

previously always pointing to the default vnet context, to a
dynamically changing thread-local one. The currvnet context
should be set on entry to networking code via CURVNET_SET() macros,
and reverted to previous state via CURVNET_RESTORE(). Recursions
on curvnet are permitted, though strongly discuouraged.
This change should have no functional impact on nooptions VIMAGE
kernel builds, where CURVNET_* macros expand to whitespace.
The curthread->td_vnet (aka curvnet) variable's purpose is to be an
indicator of the vnet context in which the current network-related
operation takes place, in case we cannot deduce the current vnet
context from any other source, such as by looking at mbuf's
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif->if_vnet, sockets's so->so_vnet etc. Moreover, so
far curvnet has turned out to be an invaluable consistency checking
aid: it helps to catch cases when sockets, ifnets or any other
vnet-aware structures may have leaked from one vnet to another.
The exact placement of the CURVNET_SET() / CURVNET_RESTORE() macros
was a result of an empirical iterative process, whith an aim to
reduce recursions on CURVNET_SET() to a minimum, while still reducing
the scope of CURVNET_SET() to networking only operations - the
alternative would be calling CURVNET_SET() on each system call entry.
In general, curvnet has to be set in three typicall cases: when
processing socket-related requests from userspace or from within the
kernel; when processing inbound traffic flowing from device drivers
to upper layers of the networking stack, and when executing
timer-driven networking functions.
This change also introduces a DDB subcommand to show the list of all
vnet instances.

sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.
This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.
The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
- all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
- ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
- scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
transmitted.

used for s/w retransmit schemes that want to access this information
w/o the overhead of decoding the raw frame. Note this also allows
drivers to record this information w/o writing the frame when the seq#
is obtained through an out-of-band mechanism (e.g. when a h/w assigned
seq# is reported in a descriptor on tx done notification).

o move fast-frame aggregation from ath to net80211 (conditional on
IEEE80211_SUPPORT_SUPERG):
- aggregation is now done in ieee80211_start; it is enabled when the
packets/sec exceeds ieee80211_ffppsmin (net.wlan.ffppsmin) and frames
are held on a staging queue according to ieee80211_ffagemax
(net.wlan.ffagemax) to wait for a frame to combine with
- drivers must call back to age/flush the staging queue (ath does this
on tx done, at swba, and on rx according to the state of the tx queues
and/or the contents of the staging queue)
- remove fast-frame-related data structures from ath
- add ieee80211_ff_node_init and ieee80211_ff_node_cleanup to handle
per-node fast-frames state (we reuse 11n tx ampdu state)
o change ieee80211_encap calling convention to include an explicit vap
so frames coming through a WDS vap are recognized w/o setting M_WDS
With these changes any device able to tx/rx 3Kbyte+ frames can use fast-frames.

When copying big structures, LLVM generates calls to memmove(), because
it may not be able to figure out whether structures overlap. This caused
linker errors to occur. memmove() is now implemented using bcopy().
Ideally it would be the other way around, but that can be solved in the
future. On ARM we don't do add anything, because it already has
memmove().

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.
