netmap: remove redundant call to nm_set_native_flags()

This redundant call was introduced by mistake in r343772.

netmap: refactor logging macros and pipes

Changelist:
- Replace ND, D and RD macros with nm_prdis, nm_prinf, nm_prerr
and nm_prlim, to avoid possible naming conflicts.
- Add netmap_krings_mode_commit() helper function and use that
to reduce code duplication.
- Refactor pipes control code to export some functions that
can be reused by the veth driver (on Linux) and epair(4).
- Add check to reject API requests with version less than 11.
- Small code refactoring for the null adapter.

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (760279cfb2730a585)

Changelist:
- Replace netmap passthrough host support with a more general
mechanism to call TXSYNC/RXSYNC from an in-kernel event-loop.
No kernel threads are used to use this feature: the application
is required to spawn a thread (or a process) and issue a
SYNC_KLOOP_START (NIOCCTRL) command in the thread body. The
kernel loop is executed by the ioctl implementation, which returns
to userspace only when a different thread calls SYNC_KLOOP_STOP
or the netmap file descriptor is closed.
- Update the if_ptnet driver to cope with the new data structures,
and prune all the obsolete ptnetmap code.
- Add support for "null" netmap ports, useful to allocate netmap_if,
netmap_ring and netmap buffers to be used by specialized applications
(e.g. hypervisors). TXSYNC/RXSYNC on these ports have no effect.
- Various fixes and code refactoring.

vtnet: fix netmap support

netmap(4) support for vtnet(4) was incomplete and had multiple bugs.
This commit fixes those bugs to bring netmap on vtnet in a functional state.

Changelist:
- handle errors returned by virtqueue_enqueue() properly (they were
previously ignored)
- make sure netmap XOR rest of the kernel access each virtqueue.
- compute the number of netmap slots for TX and RX separately, according to
whether indirect descriptors are used or not for a given virtqueue.
- make sure sglist are freed according to their type (mbufs or netmap
buffers)
- add support for mulitiqueue and netmap host (aka sw) rings.
- intercept VQ interrupts directly instead of intercepting them in txq_eof
and rxq_eof. This simplifies the code and makes it easier to make sure
taskqueues are not running for a VQ while it is in netmap mode.
- implement vntet_netmap_config() to cope with changes in the number of queues.

# 341477 04-Dec-2018 vmaffione

MFC r339639

netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (sha 8374e1a7e6941)

Changelist:
- Move large parts of VALE code to a new file and header netmap_bdg.[ch].
This is useful to reuse the code within upcoming projects.
- Improvements and bug fixes to pipes and monitors.
- Introduce nm_os_onattach(), nm_os_onenter() and nm_os_onexit() to
handle differences between FreeBSD and Linux.
- Introduce some new helper functions to handle more host rings and fake
rings (netmap_all_rings(), netmap_real_rings(), ...)
- Added new sysctl to enable/disable hw checksum in emulated netmap mode.
- nm_inject: add support for NS_MOREFRAG

# 285349 10-Jul-2015 luigi

Sync netmap sources with the version in our private tree.
This commit contains large contributions from Giuseppe Lettieri and
Stefano Garzarella, is partly supported by grants from Verisign and Cisco,
and brings in the following:

- fix zerocopy monitor ports and introduce copying monitor ports
(the latter are lower performance but give access to all traffic
in parallel with the application)

- exclusive open mode, useful to implement solutions that recover
from crashes of the main netmap client (suggested by Patrick Kelsey)

- revised memory allocator in preparation for the 'passthrough mode'
(ptnetmap) recently presented at bsdcan. ptnetmap is described in
S. Garzarella, G. Lettieri, L. Rizzo;
Virtual device passthrough for high speed VM networking,
ACM/IEEE ANCS 2015, Oakland (CA) May 2015
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/research.html

- fix rx CRC handing on ixl

- add module dependencies for netmap when building drivers as modules

- minor simplifications to device-specific routines (*txsync, *rxsync)

- general code cleanup (remove unused variables, introduce macros
to access rings and remove duplicate code,

Applications do not need to be recompiled, unless of course
they want to use the new features (monitors and exclusive open).

Those willing to try this code on stable/10 can just update the
sys/dev/netmap/*, sys/net/netmap* with the version in HEAD
and apply the small patches to individual device drivers.

# 270097 17-Aug-2014 luigi

staticize two functions, and use proper format for a struct sglist
(reported by bz)


# 270063 16-Aug-2014 luigi

Update to the current version of netmap.
Mostly bugfixes or features developed in the past 6 months,
so this is a 10.1 candidate.

Basically no user API changes (some bugfixes in sys/net/netmap_user.h).

In detail:

1. netmap support for virtio-net, including in netmap mode.
Under bhyve and with a netmap backend [2] we reach over 1Mpps
with standard APIs (e.g. libpcap), and 5-8 Mpps in netmap mode.

2. (kernel) add support for multiple memory allocators, so we can
better partition physical and virtual interfaces giving access
to separate users. The most visible effect is one additional
argument to the various kernel functions to compute buffer
addresses. All netmap-supported drivers are affected, but changes
are mechanical and trivial

3. (kernel) simplify the prototype for *txsync() and *rxsync()
driver methods. All netmap drivers affected, changes mostly mechanical.

4. add support for netmap-monitor ports. Think of it as a mirroring
port on a physical switch: a netmap monitor port replicates traffic
present on the main port. Restrictions apply. Drive carefully.

5. if_lem.c: support for various paravirtualization features,
experimental and disabled by default.
Most of these are described in our ANCS'13 paper [1].
Paravirtualized support in netmap mode is new, and beats the
numbers in the paper by a large factor (under qemu-kvm,
we measured gues-host throughput up to 10-12 Mpps).

A lot of refactoring and additional documentation in the files
in sys/dev/netmap, but apart from #2 and #3 above, almost nothing
of this stuff is visible to other kernel parts.

Example programs in tools/tools/netmap have been updated with bugfixes
and to support more of the existing features.

This is meant to go into 10.1 so we plan an MFC before the Aug.22 deadline.

A lot of this code has been contributed by my colleagues at UNIPI,
including Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, Stefano Garzarella.

MFC after: 3 days.
