+----------------+
* For each "interface" (NIC, host stack, PIPE, VALE switch port) bound to
* a file descriptor, the mmap()ed region contains a (logically readonly)
* struct netmap_if pointing to struct netmap_ring's.
*
* There is one netmap_ring per physical NIC ring, plus at least one tx/rx ring
* pair attached to the host stack (these pairs are unused for non-NIC ports).
*
* All physical/host stack ports share the same memory region,
* so that zero-copy can be implemented between them.
* VALE switch ports instead have separate memory regions.
*
* The netmap_ring is the userspace-visible replica of the NIC ring.
* Each slot has the index of a buffer (MTU-sized and residing in the
* mmapped region), its length and some flags. An extra 64-bit pointer
* is provided for user-supplied buffers in the tx path.
*
* In user space, the buffer address is computed as
* (char *)ring + buf_ofs + index * NETMAP_BUF_SIZE
*
* Added in NETMAP_API 11:
*
* + NIOCREGIF can request the allocation of extra spare buffers from
* the same memory pool. The desired number of buffers must be in
* nr_arg3. The ioctl may return fewer buffers, depending on memory
* availability. nr_arg3 will return the actual value, and, once
* mapped, nifp->ni_bufs_head will be the index of the first buffer.
*
* The buffers are linked to each other using the first uint32_t
* as the index. On close, ni_bufs_head must point to the list of
* buffers to be released.
*
* + NIOCREGIF can attach to PIPE rings sharing the same memory
* space with a parent device. The ifname indicates the parent device,
* which must already exist. Flags in nr_flags indicate if we want to
* bind the master or slave side, the index (from nr_ringid)
* is just a cookie and does not need to be sequential.
*
* + NIOCREGIF can also attach to 'monitor' rings that replicate
* the content of specific rings, also from the same memory space.
*
* Extra flags in nr_flags support the above functions.
* Application libraries may use the following naming scheme:
* netmap:foo all NIC rings pairs
* netmap:foo^ only host rings pairs
* netmap:foo^k the k-th host rings pair
* netmap:foo+ all NIC rings + host rings pairs
* netmap:foo-k the k-th NIC rings pair
* netmap:foo{k PIPE rings pair k, master side
* netmap:foo}k PIPE rings pair k, slave side
*
* Some notes about host rings:
*
* + The RX host rings are used to store those packets that the host network
* stack is trying to transmit through a NIC queue, but only if that queue
* is currently in netmap mode. Netmap will not intercept host stack mbufs
* designated to NIC queues that are not in netmap mode. As a consequence,
* registering a netmap port with netmap:foo^ is not enough to intercept
* mbufs in the RX host rings; the netmap port should be registered with
* netmap:foo*, or another registration should be done to open at least a
* NIC TX queue in netmap mode.
*
* + Netmap is not currently able to deal with intercepted transmit mbufs which
* require offloadings like TSO, UFO, checksumming offloadings, etc. It is
* responsibility of the user to disable those offloadings (e.g. using
* ifconfig on FreeBSD or ethtool -K on Linux) for an interface that is being
* used in netmap mode. If the offloadings are not disabled, GSO and/or
* unchecksummed packets may be dropped immediately or end up in the host RX
* rings, and will be dropped as soon as the packet reaches another netmap
* adapter.

*
* nr_name (in)
* The name of the port (em0, valeXXX:YYY, eth0{pn1 etc.)

* nr_version (in/out)
* Must match NETMAP_API as used in the kernel, error otherwise.
* Always returns the desired value on output.
*
* nr_reqtype (in)
* One of the NETMAP_REQ_* command types below
*
* nr_body (in)
* Pointer to a command-specific struct, described by one
* of the struct nmreq_xyz below.
*
* nr_options (in)
* Command specific options, if any.
*
* A NETMAP_REQ_REGISTER command activates netmap mode on the netmap
* port (e.g. physical interface) specified by nmreq_header.nr_name.
* The request body (struct nmreq_register) has several arguments to
* specify how the port is to be registered.
*
* nr_tx_slots, nr_tx_slots, nr_tx_rings, nr_rx_rings,
* nr_host_tx_rings, nr_host_rx_rings (in/out)
* On input, non-zero values may be used to reconfigure the port
* according to the requested values, but this is not guaranteed.
* On output the actual values in use are reported.
*
* nr_mode (in)
* Indicate what set of rings must be bound to the netmap
* device (e.g. all NIC rings, host rings only, NIC and
* host rings, ...). Values are in NR_REG_*.
*
* nr_ringid (in)
* If nr_mode == NR_REG_ONE_NIC (only a single couple of TX/RX
* rings), indicate which NIC TX and/or RX ring is to be bound
* (0..nr_*x_rings-1).
*
* nr_flags (in)
* Indicate special options for how to open the port.
*
* NR_NO_TX_POLL can be OR-ed to make select()/poll() push
* packets on tx rings only if POLLOUT is set.
* The default is to push any pending packet.
*
* NR_DO_RX_POLL can be OR-ed to make select()/poll() release
* packets on rx rings also when POLLIN is NOT set.
* The default is to touch the rx ring only with POLLIN.
* Note that this is the opposite of TX because it
* reflects the common usage.
*
* Other options are NR_MONITOR_TX, NR_MONITOR_RX, NR_ZCOPY_MON,
* NR_EXCLUSIVE, NR_RX_RINGS_ONLY, NR_TX_RINGS_ONLY and
* NR_ACCEPT_VNET_HDR.
*
* nr_mem_id (in/out)
* The identity of the memory region used.
* On input, 0 means the system decides autonomously,
* other values may try to select a specific region.
* On return the actual value is reported.
* Region '1' is the global allocator, normally shared
* by all interfaces. Other values are private regions.
* If two ports the same region zero-copy is possible.
