luigi 3ac0fcfb97 A bunch of netmap fixes:
USERSPACE:
1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;

2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
   to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
   but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);

3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
   at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
   to help detect mismatches.

4. update the manual page for the two changes above;

5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap

KERNEL:

1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
   to the 'struct netmap_adapter';

2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes

3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;

4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
   in the ixgbe driver.
   Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
   about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
   the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
   NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
   dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.

   Rx performance not investigated.

I am postponing the MFC so i can import a few more improvements
before merging.

* This header contains the macros used to manipulate netmap structures
* and packets in userspace. See netmap(4) for more information.
*
* The address of the struct netmap_if, say nifp, is computed from the
* value returned from ioctl(.., NIOCREG, ...) and the mmap region:
* ioctl(fd, NIOCREG, &req);
* mem = mmap(0, ... );
* nifp = NETMAP_IF(mem, req.nr_nifp);
* (so simple, we could just do it manually)
*
* From there:
* struct netmap_ring *NETMAP_TXRING(nifp, index)
* struct netmap_ring *NETMAP_RXRING(nifp, index)
* we can access ring->nr_cur, ring->nr_avail, ring->nr_flags
*
* ring->slot[i] gives us the i-th slot (we can access
* directly plen, flags, bufindex)
*
* char *buf = NETMAP_BUF(ring, index) returns a pointer to
* the i-th buffer
*
* Since rings are circular, we have macros to compute the next index
* i = NETMAP_RING_NEXT(ring, i);
