The r48589 promised to remove implicit inclusion of if_var.h soon. Prepare to this event, adding if_var.h to files that do need it. Also, include all includes that now are included due to implicit pollution via if_var.h

Update PCI drivers to no longer look at the MEMIO-enabled bit in the PCI command register. The lazy BAR allocation code in FreeBSD sometimes disables this bit when it detects a range conflict, and will re-enable it on demand when a driver allocates the BAR. Thus, the bit is no longer a reliable indication of capability, and should not be checked. This results in the elimination of a lot of code from drivers, and also gives the opportunity to simplify a lot of drivers to use a helper API to set the busmaster enable bit.
This changes fixes some recent reports of disk controllers and their associated drives/enclosures disappearing during boot.

Do not allocate multicast array memory in multicast filter configuration function. For failed memory allocations, em(4)/lem(4) called panic(9) which is not acceptable on production box. igb(4)/ixgb(4)/ix(4) allocated the required memory in stack which consumed 768 bytes of stack memory which looks too big.
To address these issues, allocate multicast array memory in device attach time and make multicast configuration success under any conditions. This change also removes the excessive use of memory in stack.

Use if_maddr_rlock()/if_maddr_runlock() rather than IF_ADDR_LOCK()/ IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they don't actually access the multicast address list.

When user_frac in the polling subsystem is low it is going to busy the CPU for too long period than necessary. Additively, interfaces are kept polled (in the tick) even if no more packets are available. In order to avoid such situations a new generic mechanism can be implemented in proactive way, keeping track of the time spent on any packet and fragmenting the time for any tick, stopping the processing as soon as possible.
In order to implement such mechanism, the polling handler needs to change, returning the number of packets processed. While the intended logic is not part of this patch, the polling KPI is broken by this commit, adding an int return value and the new flag IFCAP_POLLING_NOCOUNT (which will signal that the return value is meaningless for the installed handler and checking should be skipped).
Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such situation.

- Fix VLAN_INPUT_TAG() macro, so that it doesn't touch mtag in case if memory allocation failed. - Remove fourth argument from VLAN_INPUT_TAG(), that was used incorrectly in almost all drivers. Indicate failure with mbuf value of NULL.

- Store pointer to the link-level address right in "struct ifnet" rather than in ifindex_table[]; all (except one) accesses are through ifp anyway. IF_LLADDR() works faster, and all (except one) ifaddr_byindex() users were converted to use ifp->if_addr.
- Stop storing a (pointer to) Ethernet address in "struct arpcom", and drop the IFP2ENADDR() macro; all users have been converted to use IF_LLADDR() instead.

Big polling(4) cleanup.
o Axe poll in trap.
o Axe IFF_POLLING flag from if_flags.
o Rework revision 1.21 (Giant removal), in such a way that poll_mtx is not dropped during call to polling handler. This fixes problem with idle polling.
o Make registration and deregistration from polling in a functional way, insted of next tick/interrupt.
o Obsolete kern.polling.enable. Polling is turned on/off with ifconfig.
Detailed kern_poll.c changes: - Remove polling handler flags, introduced in 1.21. The are not needed now. - Forget and do not check if_flags, if_capenable and if_drv_flags. - Call all registered polling handlers unconditionally. - Do not drop poll_mtx, when entering polling handlers. - In ether_poll() NET_LOCK_GIANT prior to locking poll_mtx. - In netisr_poll() axe the block, where polling code asks drivers to unregister. - In netisr_poll() and ether_poll() do polling always, if any handlers are present. - In ether_poll_[de]register() remove a lot of error hiding code. Assert that arguments are correct, instead. - In ether_poll_[de]register() use standard return values in case of error or success. - Introduce poll_switch() that is a sysctl handler for kern.polling.enable. poll_switch() goes through interface list and enabled/disables polling. A message that kern.polling.enable is deprecated is printed.
Detailed driver changes: - On attach driver announces IFCAP_POLLING in if_capabilities, but not in if_capenable. - On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled. - In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING flag. If there is no, then unlocks and returns. - In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts. - In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable. If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious interrupts.

Make sure that we call if_free(ifp) after bus_teardown_intr. Since we could get an interrupt after we free the ifp, and the interrupt handler depended on the ifp being still alive, this could, in theory, cause a crash. Eliminate this possibility by moving the if_free to after the bus_teardown_intr() call.

Propagate rename of IFF_OACTIVE and IFF_RUNNING to IFF_DRV_OACTIVE and IFF_DRV_RUNNING, as well as the move from ifnet.if_flags to ifnet.if_drv_flags. Device drivers are now responsible for synchronizing access to these flags, as they are in if_drv_flags. This helps prevent races between the network stack and device driver in maintaining the interface flags field.
Many __FreeBSD__ and __FreeBSD_version checks maintained and continued; some less so.

Stop embedding struct ifnet at the top of driver softcs. Instead the struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note: - Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code. Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro. To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr. - The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Fix a bunch of bugs I came accross when looking at the ixgb(4) driver, some of which are rather serious: - Use the device sysctl tree instead of rolling our own. - Don't create a bus_dmamap_t to pass to bus_dmamem_alloc(), it is bus_dmamem_alloc() that creates it itself. The DMA map created by the driver was overwritten and its memory was leaked. - Fix resource handling bugs in the error path of ixgb_dma_alloc(). - Don't use vtophys() to get the base address of the TX and RX rings when busdma already gave us the correct address to use! - Remove now useless includes and the alpha_XXX_dmamap() hack. - Don't initialize if_output to ether_output(), ether_ifattach() does it for us already. - Add proper module dependencies on ether and pci.
Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to own an ixgb(4) card, nor a machine with a bus where to plug it in and I couldn't find anyone able to test these patches, so they are only build-tested and I won't MFC them for 5.4-RELEASE.
