the TOE. For now this capability is always enabled in kernels with
options RATELIMIT. t4_tom will check if_capenable once the base driver
gets code to support rate limiting for any socket (TOE or not).
This was tested with iperf3 and netperf ToT as they already support
SO_MAX_PACING_RATE sockopt. There is a bug in firmwares prior to
1.16.45.0 that affects the BSD driver only and results in rate-limiting
at an incorrect rate. This will resolve by itself as soon as 1.16.45.0
or later firmware shows up in the driver.

opt_inet6.h into kmod.mk by forcing almost everybody to eat the same
dogfood. While at it, consolidate the opt_bpf.h and opt_mroute.h
targets here too.
- Add full support for IPv6 addresses.
- Read the size of the L2 table during attach. Do not assume that PCIe
physical function 4 of the card has all of the table to itself.
- Use FNV instead of Jenkins to hash L3 addresses and drop the private
copy of jhash.h from the driver.

Basically, this is automatic rx zero copy when feasible. TCP payload is
DMA'd directly into the userspace buffer described by the uio submitted
in soreceive by an application.
- Works with sockets that are being handled by the TCP offload engine
of a T4 chip (you need t4_tom.ko module loaded after cxgbe, and an
"ifconfig +toe" on the cxgbe interface).
- Does not require any modification to the application.
- Not enabled by default. Use hw.t4nex.<X>.toe.ddp="1" to enable it.
- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.
Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe
