(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

This also permits tuning of the option per virtual network stack, as
well as separately per inet, inet6.
The kernel option is left for a transition period, marked deprecated,
and will be removed soon.

(duplicate) code in sys/netipsec/ipsec.c and fold it into
common, INET/6 independent functions.
The file local functions ipsec4_setspidx_inpcb() and
ipsec6_setspidx_inpcb() were 1:1 identical after the change
in r186528. Rename to ipsec_setspidx_inpcb() and remove the
duplicate.
Public functions ipsec[46]_get_policy() were 1:1 identical.
Remove one copy and merge in the factored out code from
ipsec_get_policy() into the other. The public function left
is now called ipsec_get_policy() and callers were adapted.
Public functions ipsec[46]_set_policy() were 1:1 identical.
Rename file local ipsec_set_policy() function to
ipsec_set_policy_internal().
Remove one copy of the public functions, rename the other
to ipsec_set_policy() and adapt callers.
Public functions ipsec[46]_hdrsiz() were logically identical
(ignoring one questionable assert in the v6 version).
Rename the file local ipsec_hdrsiz() to ipsec_hdrsiz_internal(),
the public function to ipsec_hdrsiz(), remove the duplicate
copy and adapt the callers.
The v6 version had been unused anyway. Cleanup comments.
Public functions ipsec[46]_in_reject() were logically identical
apart from statistics. Move the common code into a file local
ipsec46_in_reject() leaving vimage+statistics in small AF specific
wrapper functions. Note: unfortunately we already have a public
ipsec_in_reject().

Try to assimilate both ip*_ctloutput code blocks calling ipsec*_set_policy.

from the KAME IPsec implementation, but with heavy borrowing and influence
of openbsd. A key feature of this implementation is that it uses the kernel
crypto framework to do all crypto work so when h/w crypto support is present
IPsec operation is automatically accelerated. Otherwise the protocol
implementations are rather differet while the SADB and policy management
code is very similar to KAME (for the moment).
Note that this implementation is enabled with a FAST_IPSEC option. With this
you get all protocols; i.e. there is no FAST_IPSEC_ESP option.
FAST_IPSEC and IPSEC are mutually exclusive; you cannot build both into a
single system.
This software is well tested with IPv4 but should be considered very
experimental (i.e. do not deploy in production environments). This software
does NOT currently support IPv6. In fact do not configure FAST_IPSEC and
INET6 in the same system.
