Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocator
(DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual
network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator
instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This
change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with
VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables.
Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also
once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are
tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is
loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global
variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules
are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet
region with the help of a the kernel linker.
Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the
network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from
the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which
converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet
address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal
global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided.
This change restores static initialization for network stack global
variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates
the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem
structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for
monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the
per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the
need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate
definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.
Bump __FreeBSD_version and update UPDATING.

MFp4: portability work, general cleanup, locking fixes
change 38496
o add ipsec_osdep.h that holds os-specific definitions for portability
o s/KASSERT/IPSEC_ASSERT/ for portability
o s/SPLASSERT/IPSEC_SPLASSERT/ for portability
o remove function names from ASSERT strings since line#+file pinpints
the location
o use __func__ uniformly to reduce string storage
o convert some random #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC code to assertions
o remove some debuggging assertions no longer needed
change 38498
o replace numerous bogus panic's with equally bogus assertions
that at least go away on a production system
change 38502 + 38530
o change explicit mtx operations to #defines to simplify
future changes to a different lock type
change 38531
o hookup ipv4 ctlinput paths to a noop routine; we should be
handling path mtu changes at least
o correct potential null pointer deref in ipsec4_common_input_cb
chnage 38685
o fix locking for bundled SA's and for when key exchange is required
change 38770
o eliminate recursion on the SAHTREE lock
change 38804
o cleanup some types: long -> time_t
o remove refrence to dead #define
change 38805
o correct some types: long -> time_t
o add scan generation # to secpolicy to deal with locking issues
change 38806
o use LIST_FOREACH_SAFE instead of handrolled code
o change key_flush_spd to drop the sptree lock before purging
an entry to avoid lock recursion and to avoid holding the lock
over a long-running operation
o misc cleanups of tangled and twisty code
There is still much to do here but for now things look to be
working again.
