This driver seems to have a bug. The bug was carefully saved during
conversion. In the al_eth_mac_table_unicast_add() the argument 'addr',
which is the actual address is unused. So, the function is called as
many times as we have addresses, but with the exactly same argument
list. This doesn't make any sense, but was preserved.
- In em_msix_link(), properly handle IGB-class devices after the iflib(4)
conversion again by only setting EM_MSIX_LINK for the EM-class 82574
and by re-arming link interrupts unconditionally, i. e. not only in
case of spurious interrupts. This fixes the interface link state change
detection for the IGB-class. [1]
- In em_if_update_admin_status(), only re-arm the link state change
interrupt for 82574 and also only if such a device uses MSI-X, i. e.
takes advantage of autoclearing. In case of INTx and MSI as well as
for LEM- and IGB-class devices, re-arming isn't appropriate here and
setting EM_MSIX_LINK isn't either.
While at it, consistently take advantage of the hw variable.

This patch is part of an effort to make bhyve networking (in particular TCP)
faster. The key strategy to enhance TCP throughput is to let the whole packet
datapath work with TSO/LRO packets (up to 64KB each), so that the per-packet
overhead is amortized over a large number of bytes.
This capability is supported in the guest by means of the vtnet(4) driver,
which is able to handle TSO/LRO packets leveraging the virtio-net header
(see struct virtio_net_hdr and struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf).
A bhyve VM exchanges packets with the host through a network backend,
which can be vale(4) or if_tap(4).
While vale(4) supports TSO/LRO packets, if_tap(4) does not.
This patch extends if_tap(4) with the ability to understand the virtio-net
header, so that a tapX interface can process TSO/LRO packets.
A couple of ioctl commands have been added to configure and probe the
virtio-net header. Once the virtio-net header is set, the tapX interface
acquires all the IFCAP capabilities necessary for TSO/LRO.

They're formatted into the device name like unit numbers, anyway; store the
number in mda_unit => si_drv0 like dev2unit() expects.

The sentinel value for "use the rest of the region," -1, isn't zero modulo
PAGE_SIZE. Relax the check to permit the intended special value.

Follow-up to incomplete pedantic change in r353691 by actually fixing the
default implementation to match the interface type. Mea culpa.
X-MFC-With: r353691, r339754
After r339754, the additional interface parameter was accidentally left out
of the default acpi_generic_id_probe implementation. Apparently this does
not cause any real problems, so this fix is mostly stylistic.
No functional change intended.

Debugnet is a simplistic and specialized panic- or debug-time reliable
datagram transport. It can drive a single connection at a time and is
currently unidirectional (debug/panic machine transmit to remote server
only).
It is mostly a verbatim code lift from netdump(4). Netdump(4) remains
the only consumer (until the rest of this patch series lands).
The INET-specific logic has been extracted somewhat more thoroughly than
previously in netdump(4), into debugnet_inet.c. UDP-layer logic and up, as
much as possible as is protocol-independent, remains in debugnet.c. The
separation is not perfect and future improvement is welcome. Supporting
INET6 is a long-term goal.
Much of the diff is "gratuitous" renaming from 'netdump_' or 'nd_' to
'debugnet_' or 'dn_' -- sorry. I thought keeping the netdump name on the
generic module would be more confusing than the refactoring.
The only functional change here is the mbuf allocation / tracking. Instead
of initiating solely on netdump-configured interface(s) at dumpon(8)
configuration time, we watch for any debugnet-enabled NIC for link
activation and query it for mbuf parameters at that time. If they exceed
the existing high-water mark allocation, we re-allocate and track the new
high-water mark. Otherwise, we leave the pre-panic mbuf allocation alone.
In a future patch in this series, this will allow initiating netdump from
panic ddb(4) without pre-panic configuration.
No other functional change intended.
