Include evdev support and drivers in the amd64 and i386 GENERIC and MINIMAL
kernels. Evdev is used by X and wayland to handle input devices, and this
change, together with upcomming changes in ports will make us handle input
devices better in graphical UIs.

Finishes the conversion of the 40Gb Intel Ethernet drivers to iflib(9) for
FreeBSD 12.0, and fixes numerous bugs in both ixl(4) and iavf(4).
This commit also re-adds the VF driver to GENERIC since it now compiles and
functions.
The VF driver name was changed from ixlv(4) to iavf(4) because the VF driver is
now intended to be used with future products, not just with Fortville/Fort Park
VFs.
A man page update that documents these drivers is forthcoming in a separate
commit.

It's anticipated that after the freeze, this will be removed in
13-current (with the residual of the drm2 code copied to
sys/arm/dev/drm2 for the TEGRA port's use w/o the intel or
radeon drivers).
Due to the impending freeze, there was no formal core vote for
this. I've been talking to different core members all day, as well as
Matt Macey and Glen Barber. Nobody is completely happy, all are
grudgingly going along with this. Work is in progress to mitigate

The driver currently isn't completely ported; features that are missing:

Update i386 NOTES for COMPAT_AOUT. It is not i386-only, or even very MD.

amd64 has always attempted to configure and test it, but it depends on
COMPAT_AOUT (as noted). The bug that it depends on unconfigured files
was not detected since it is configured as a device. All other optional
image activators are configured properly using an option.
This turns on support for kernel dump encryption and compression, and
netdump. arm and mips platforms are omitted for now, since they are more
constrained and don't benefit as much from these features.

imcsmb(4) provides smbus(4) support for the SMBus controller functionality
in the integrated Memory Controllers (iMCs) embedded in Intel Sandybridge-
Xeon, Ivybridge-Xeon, Haswell-Xeon, and Broadwell-Xeon CPUs. Each CPU
implements one or more iMCs, depending on the number of cores; each iMC
implements two SMBus controllers (iMC-SMBs).
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Because motherboard firmware or the BMC might try to use the iMC-SMBs for
monitoring DIMM temperatures and/or managing an NVDIMM, the driver might
need to temporarily disable those functions, or take a hardware interlock,
before using the iMC-SMBs. Details on how to do this may vary from board to
board, and the procedure may be proprietary. It is strongly suggested that
anyone wishing to use this driver contact their motherboard vendor, and
modify the driver as described in the manual page and in the driver itself.
(For what it's worth, the driver as-is has been tested on various SuperMicro
motherboards.)

The conditional compilation support is now centralized in
tcp_fastopen.h and tcp_var.h. This doesn't provide the minimum
theoretical code/data footprint when TCP_RFC7413 is disabled, but
nearly all the TFO code should wind up being removed by the optimizer,
the additional footprint in the syncache entries is a single pointer,
and the additional overhead in the tcpcb is at the end of the
structure.
This enables the TCP_RFC7413 kernel option by default in amd64 and
arm64 GENERIC.

This driver supports both NTB-to-NTB and NTB-to-Root Port modes (though
the second with predictable complications on hot-plug and reboot events).
I tested it with PEX 8717 and PEX 8733 chips, but expect it should work
with many other compatible ones too. It supports up to two NT bridges
per chip, each of which can have up to 2 64-bit or 4 32-bit memory windows,
6 or 12 scratchpad registers and 16 doorbells. There are also 4 DMA engines
in those chips, but they are not yet supported.
While there, rename Intel NTB driver from generic ntb_hw(4) to more specific
ntb_hw_intel(4), so now it is on par with this new ntb_hw_plx(4) driver and
alike to Linux naming.

Implement the MMC/SD/SDIO protocol within a CAM framework. CAM's
flexible queueing will make it easier to write non-storage drivers
than the legacy stack. SDIO drivers from both the kernel and as
userland daemons are possible, though much of that functionality will
come later.
Some of the CAM integration isn't complete (there are sleeps in the
device probe state machine, for example), but those minor issues can
be improved in-tree more easily than out of tree and shouldn't gate
progress on other fronts. Appologies to reviews if specific items
have been overlooked.

Refresh upstream driver before impending conversion to iflib.
Major new features:
- Support for Fortville-based 25G adapters
- Support for I2C reads/writes
(To prevent getting or sending corrupt data, you should set
dev.ixl.0.debug.disable_fw_link_management=1 when using I2C
[this will disable link!], then set it to 0 when done. The driver implements
the SIOCGI2C ioctl, so ifconfig -v works for reading I2C data,
but there are read_i2c and write_i2c sysctls under the .debug sysctl tree
[the latter being useful for upper page support in QSFP+]).
- Addition of an iWARP client interface (so the future iWARP driver for
X722 devices can communicate with the base driver).
- Compiling this option in is enabled by default, with "options IXL_IW" in
GENERIC.
