With clang 15, the following -Werror warning is produced:

    sys/dev/netmap/if_re_netmap.h:179:8: error: variable 'n' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
            u_int n;
                  ^

The 'n' variable appears to have been a debugging aid that has never
been used for anything, so remove it.

<title>netmap: align codebase to the current upstream (commit id 3fb001303718146)</title>

Changelist:
    - Turn tx_rings and rx_rings arrays into arrays of pointers to kring
      structs. This patch includes fixes for ixv, ixl, ix, re, cxgbe, iflib,
      vtnet and ptnet drivers to cope with the change.
    - Generalize the nm_config() callback to accept a struct containing many
      parameters.
    - Introduce NKR_FAKERING to support buffers sharing (used for netmap
      pipes)
    - Improved API for external VALE modules.
    - Various bug fixes and improvements to the netmap memory allocator,
      including support for externally (userspace) allocated memory.
    - Refactoring of netmap pipes: now linked rings share the same netmap
      buffers, with a separate set of kring pointers (rhead, rcur, rtail).
      Buffer swapping does not need to happen anymore.
    - Large refactoring of the control API towards an extensible solution;
      the goal is to allow the addition of more commands and extension of
      existing ones (with new options) without the need of hacks or the
      risk of running out of configuration space.
      A new NIOCCTRL ioctl has been added to handle all the requests of the
      new control API, which cover all the functionalities so far supported.
      The netmap API bumps from 11 to 12 with this patch. Full backward
      compatibility is provided for the old control command (NIOCREGIF), by
      means of a new netmap_legacy module. Many parts of the old netmap.h
      header has now been moved to netmap_legacy.h (included by netmap.h).

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

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.

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.
