Implement interface link header precomputation API.
Add if_requestencap() interface method which is capable of calculating various link headers for given interface. Right now there is support for INET/INET6/ARP llheader calculation (IFENCAP_LL type request). Other types are planned to support more complex calculation (L2 multipath lagg nexthops, tunnel encap nexthops, etc..).
Reshape 'struct route' to be able to pass additional data (with is length) to prepend to mbuf.
These two changes permits routing code to pass pre-calculated nexthop data (like L2 header for route w/gateway) down to the stack eliminating the need for other lookups. It also brings us closer to more complex scenarios like transparently handling MPLS nexthops and tunnel interfaces. Last, but not least, it removes layering violation introduced by flowtable code (ro_lle) and simplifies handling of existing if_output consumers.
ARP/ND changes: Make arp/ndp stack pre-calculate link header upon installing/updating lle record. Interface link address change are handled by re-calculating headers for all lles based on if_lladdr event. After these changes, arpresolve()/nd6_resolve() returns full pre-calculated header for supported interfaces thus simplifying if_output(). Move these lookups to separate ether_resolve_addr() function which ether returs error or fully-prepared link header. Add <arp|nd6_>resolve_addr() compat versions to return link addresses instead of pre-calculated data.
BPF changes: Raw bpf writes occupied _two_ cases: AF_UNSPEC and pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT. Despite the naming, both of there have ther header "complete". The only difference is that interface source mac has to be filled by OS for AF_UNSPEC (controlled via BIOCGHDRCMPLT). This logic has to stay inside BPF and not pollute if_output() routines. Convert BPF to pass prepend data via new 'struct route' mechanism. Note that it does not change non-optimized if_output(): ro_prepend handling is purely optional. Side note: hackish pseudo_AF_HDRCMPLT is supported for ethernet and FDDI. It is not needed for ethernet anymore. The only remaining FDDI user is dev/pdq mostly untouched since 2007. FDDI support was eliminated from OpenBSD in 2013 (sys/net/if_fddisubr.c rev 1.65).
Flowtable changes: Flowtable violates layering by saving (and not correctly managing) rtes/lles. Instead of passing lle pointer, pass pointer to pre-calculated header data from that lle.

- Updated TOE support in the kernel.
- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs. These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4) and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the works and will follow soon.
Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview ============ What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the capabilities of an interface: # ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet capability): # ifconfig cxgbe0 toe # ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the output of netstat and sockstat: # netstat -np tcp | grep toe # sockstat -46c | grep toe

This main goals of this project are: 1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables 2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations 3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting active functional testing - Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and provided valuable reviews - Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion
