For interfaces that do not support SIOCGIFMEDIA (for which there are
quite a few) the only fallback is to query the interface for
if_data->ifi_link_state. While it's possible to get at if_data for an
interface via getifaddrs(3) or sysctl, both are heavy weight mechanisms.
SIOCGIFDATA is a simple ioctl to retrieve this fast with very little
resource use in comparison. This implementation mirrors that of other
similar ioctls in FreeBSD.

Expand the bit type to long so that the extra range is available

This adds the getenv_bool() function, to parse a boolean value from a
kernel environment variable or tunable. This works for traditional
boolean values like "0" and "1", and also "true" and "false"
(case-insensitive). These semantics do not yet apply to sysctls declared
using SYSCTL_BOOL with CTLFLAG_TUN (they still only parse 1 and 0).
Also added are two wrapper functions, getenv_is_true() and
getenv_is_false(). These are slightly simpler for callers wishing to
perform a single check of a configuration variable.

One problem with the bus_space_read_N() and bus_space_write_N() family of
functions is that they provide no protection against exceptions which can
occur when no physical hardware or device responds to the read or write
cycles. In such a situation, the system typically would panic due to a
kernel-mode bus error. The bus_space_peek_N() and bus_space_poke_N() family
of functions provide a mechanism to handle these exceptions gracefully
without the risk of crashing the system.
Typical example is access to PCI(e) configuration space in bus enumeration
function on badly implemented PCI(e) root complexes (RK3399 or Neoverse
N1 N1SDP and/or access to PCI(e) register when device is in deep sleep state.
This commit adds a real implementation for arm64 only. The remaining
architectures have bus_space_peek()/bus_space_poke() emulated by using
bus_space_read()/bus_space_write() (without exception handling).

This lets a VXLAN pseudo-interface take advantage of hardware checksumming (tx
and rx), TSO, and RSS if the NIC is capable of performing these operations on
inner VXLAN traffic.
A VXLAN interface inherits the capabilities of its vxlandev interface if one is
specified or of the interface that hosts the vxlanlocal address. If other
interfaces will carry traffic for that VXLAN then they must have the same
hardware capabilities.
On transmit, if_vxlan verifies that the outbound interface has the required
capabilities and then translates the CSUM_ flags to their inner equivalents.
This tells the hardware ifnet that it needs to operate on the inner frame and
not the outer VXLAN headers.
An event is generated when a VXLAN ifnet starts. This allows hardware drivers to
configure their devices to expect VXLAN traffic on the specified incoming port.
On receive, the hardware does RSS and checksum verification on the inner frame.
if_vxlan now does a direct netisr dispatch to take full advantage of RSS. It is
not very clear why it didn't do this already.
Future work:
Rx: it should be possible to avoid the first trip up the protocol stack to get
the frame to if_vxlan just so it can decapsulate and requeue for a second trip
up the stack. The hardware NIC driver could directly call an if_vxlan receive
routine for VXLAN traffic instead.
Rx: LRO. depends on what happens with the previous item. There will have to to
be a mechanism to indicate that it's time for if_vxlan to flush its LRO state.

Add prng(9) as a replacement for random(9) in the kernel.
There are two major differences from random(9) and random(3):
- General prng(9) APIs (prng32(9), etc) do not guarantee an
implementation or particular sequence; they should not be used for
repeatable simulations.
- However, specific named API families are also exposed (for now: PCG),
and those are expected to be repeatable (when so-guaranteed by the named
algorithm).
Some minor differences from random(3) and earlier random(9):
- PRNG state for the general prng(9) APIs is per-CPU; this eliminates
contention on PRNG state in SMP workloads. Each PCPU generator in an
SMP system produces a unique sequence.
- Better statistical properties than the Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG
(longer period, uniform distribution in all bits, passes
BigCrush/PractRand analysis).
- Faster than Park-Miller ("minstd") PRNG -- no division is required to
step PCG-family PRNGs.
For now, random(9) becomes a thin shim around prng32(). Eventually I
would like to mechanically switch consumers over to the explicit API.

For purposes of handling hardware error reported via NMIs I need a way to
escape NMI context, being too restrictive to do something significant.
To do it this change introduces new swi_sched() flag SWI_FROMNMI, making
it careful about used KPIs. On platforms allowing IPI sending from NMI
context (x86 for now) it immediately wakes clk_intr_event via new IPI_SWI,
otherwise it works just like SWI_DELAY. To handle the delayed SWIs this
patch calls clk_intr_event on every hardclock() tick.

initializations.
Relax some overly perscriptive rules against declarations: they may be at the
start of any blocks, even if things aren't super complicated. Allow more
initializations (those that call simple functions, like accessor functions for
newbus are fine). Allow the common idiom of declaring the loop variable in a for
loop.
This tries to codify what common exceptions are today, as well as give
some guidance on when it's best to do these things.
