Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.
Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.
Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

occasional spurious interrupts are a normal thing on this hardware. Also,
change the name of the cpu-local interrupt controller driver from local_intc
to lintc, because the name gets built into interrupt names, which have to
fit into a 19-byte field for stats reporting (so this allows 5 more bytes
of the actual interrupt name to be displayed).
Due to three conditions the codec driver for Allwinner A10/A20 and H3/H5 did not work properly here:
Wrong bit position for the analog audio reset
Hardware Reset of codec was not de-asserted correctly
Linux DTS file did not contain the address of the analog register the way as the driver was expecting it.
This patch proposes fixes for those three parts.

The code previously set up interrupt handlers for all the interrupt
resources available, including for timers that are not in use. That could
lead to interrupt storms. For example, if boot firmware enabled the virtual
timer but the kernel is using the physical timer, it could get flooded with
interrupts on the virtual timer which it cannot shut off. By only setting
up an interrupt handler for the hardware that will actually be used, any
interrupts from other timer units will remain masked in the interrupt
controller.

Since latest DTS update the rtc is supposed to register two clocks :
- osc32k (the 32k oscillator on the board that the RTC uses directly and
that other peripheral can use)
- iosc (the internal oscillator of the RTC when available which frequency
depend on the SoC revision)
Since we need the RTC before the proper clock control unit (because it uses
those clocks) attach it a BUS_PASS_BUS + MIDDLE and attach the clock control
unit at BUS_PASS_BUS + LAST for the SoC that requires it.

In all of the architectures we have today, we always use PAGE_SIZE.
While in theory one could define different things, none of the
current architectures do, even the ones that have transitioned from
32-bit to 64-bit like i386 and arm. Some ancient mips binaries on
other systems used 8k instead of 4k, but we don't support running
those and likely never will due to their age and obscurity.
