luigi 0290a0c2f7 - change the buffer size from a constant to a
TUNABLE variable (hw.netmap.buf_size) so we can experiment
  with values different from 2048 which may give better cache performance.

- rearrange the memory allocation code so it will be easier
  to replace it with a different implementation. The current code
  relies on a single large contiguous chunk of memory obtained through
  contigmalloc.
  The new implementation (not committed yet) uses multiple
  smaller chunks which are easier to fit in a fragmented address
  space.

* --- Netmap data structures ---
*
* The data structures used by netmap are shown below. Those in
* capital letters are in an mmapp()ed area shared with userspace,
* while others are private to the kernel.
* Shared structures do not contain pointers but only relative
* offsets, so that addressing is portable between kernel and userspace.
*
* The 'softc' of each interface is extended with a struct netmap_adapter
* containing information to support netmap operation. In addition to
* the fixed fields, it has two pointers to reach the arrays of
* 'struct netmap_kring' which in turn reaches the various
* struct netmap_ring, shared with userspace.

* The NETMAP_RING is the shadow ring that mirrors the NIC rings.
* Each slot has the index of a buffer, its length and some flags.
* In user space, the buffer address is computed as
* (char *)ring + buf_ofs + index*MAX_BUF_SIZE
* In the kernel, buffers do not necessarily need to be contiguous,
* and the virtual and physical addresses are derived through
* a lookup table. When userspace wants to use a different buffer
* in a location, it must set the NS_BUF_CHANGED flag to make
* sure that the kernel recomputes updates the hardware ring and
* other fields (bus_dmamap, etc.) as needed.
*
* Normally the driver is not requested to report the result of
* transmissions (this can dramatically speed up operation).
* However the user may request to report completion by setting
* NS_REPORT.

* Netmap representation of a TX or RX ring (also known as "queue").
* This is a queue implemented as a fixed-size circular array.
* At the software level, two fields are important: avail and cur.
*
* In TX rings:
* avail indicates the number of slots available for transmission.
* It is decremented by the application when it appends a
* packet, and set to nr_hwavail (see below) on a
* NIOCTXSYNC to reflect the actual state of the queue
* (keeping track of completed transmissions).
* cur indicates the empty slot to use for the next packet
* to send (i.e. the "tail" of the queue).
* It is incremented by the application.
*
* The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in its own
* private ring structure, netmap_kring:
* nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCTXSYNC.
* nr_hwavail is the number of slots known as available by the
* hardware. It is updated on an INTR (inc by the
* number of packets sent) and on a NIOCTXSYNC
* (decrease by nr_cur - nr_hwcur)
* A special case, nr_hwavail is -1 if the transmit
* side is idle (no pending transmits).
*
* In RX rings:
* avail is the number of packets available (possibly 0).
* It is decremented by the software when it consumes
* a packet, and set to nr_hwavail on a NIOCRXSYNC
* cur indicates the first slot that contains a packet
* (the "head" of the queue).
* It is incremented by the software when it consumes
* a packet.
*
* The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in the kring:
* nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCRXSYNC
* nr_hwavail is the number of packets available. It is updated
* on INTR (inc by the number of new packets arrived)
* and on NIOCRXSYNC (decreased by nr_cur - nr_hwcur).
*
* DATA OWNERSHIP/LOCKING:
* The netmap_ring is owned by the user program and it is only
* accessed or modified in the upper half of the kernel during
* a system call.
*
* The netmap_kring is only modified by the upper half of the kernel.
