Luigi Rizzo 64ae02c365 A bunch of netmap fixes:
USERSPACE:
1. add support for devices with different number of rx and tx queues;

2. add better support for zero-copy operation, adding an extra field
   to the netmap ring to indicate how many buffers we have already processed
   but not yet released (with help from Eddie Kohler);

3. The two changes above unfortunately require an API change, so while
   at it add a version field and some spares to the ioctl() argument
   to help detect mismatches.

4. update the manual page for the two changes above;

5. update sample applications in tools/tools/netmap

KERNEL:

1. simplify the internal structures moving the global wait queues
   to the 'struct netmap_adapter';

2. simplify the functions that map kring<->nic ring indexes

3. normalize device-specific code, helps mainteinance;

4. start exploring the impact of micro-optimizations (prefetch etc.)
   in the ixgbe driver.
   Use 'legacy' descriptors on the tx ring and prefetch slots gives
   about 20% speedup at 900 MHz. Another 7-10% would come from removing
   the explict calls to bus_dmamap* in the core (they are effectively
   NOPs in this case, but it takes expensive load of the per-buffer
   dma maps to figure out that they are all NULL.

   Rx performance not investigated.

I am postponing the MFC so i can import a few more improvements
before merging.

* The data structures used by netmap are shown below. Those in

* Shared structures do not contain pointers but only memory
* offsets, so that addressing is portable between kernel and userspace.

* The private descriptor ('softc' or 'adapter') of each interface
* is extended with a "struct netmap_adapter" containing netmap-related
* info (see description in dev/netmap/netmap_kernel.h.
* Among other things, tx_rings and rx_rings point to the arrays of
* "struct netmap_kring" which in turn reache the various
* "struct netmap_ring", shared with userspace.
* The NETMAP_RING is the userspace-visible replica of the NIC ring.
* Each slot has the index of a buffer, its length and some flags.
* In user space, the buffer address is computed as
* (char *)ring + buf_ofs + index*NETMAP_BUF_SIZE
* In the kernel, buffers do not necessarily need to be contiguous,
* and the virtual and physical addresses are derived through
* a lookup table.
* To associate a different buffer to a slot, applications must
* write the new index in buf_idx, and set NS_BUF_CHANGED flag to
* make sure that the kernel updates the hardware ring as needed.
*
* Normally the driver is not requested to report the result of
* transmissions (this can dramatically speed up operation).
* However the user may request to report completion by setting
* NS_REPORT.

* Netmap representation of a TX or RX ring (also known as "queue").
* This is a queue implemented as a fixed-size circular array.
* At the software level, two fields are important: avail and cur.
*
* In TX rings:
* avail indicates the number of slots available for transmission.
* It is updated by the kernel after every netmap system call.
* It MUST BE decremented by the application when it appends a
* packet.
* cur indicates the slot to use for the next packet
* to send (i.e. the "tail" of the queue).
* It MUST BE incremented by the application before
* netmap system calls to reflect the number of newly
* sent packets.
* It is checked by the kernel on netmap system calls
* (normally unmodified by the kernel unless invalid).
*
* The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in its own
* private ring structure, netmap_kring:
* nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCTXSYNC.
* nr_hwavail is the number of slots known as available by the
* hardware. It is updated on an INTR (inc by the
* number of packets sent) and on a NIOCTXSYNC
* (decrease by nr_cur - nr_hwcur)
* A special case, nr_hwavail is -1 if the transmit
* side is idle (no pending transmits).
*
* In RX rings:
* avail is the number of packets available (possibly 0).
* It MUST BE decremented by the application when it consumes
* a packet, and it is updated to nr_hwavail on a NIOCRXSYNC
* cur indicates the first slot that contains a packet not
* processed yet (the "head" of the queue).
* It MUST BE incremented by the software when it consumes
* a packet.
* reserved indicates the number of buffers before 'cur'
* that the application has still in use. Normally 0,
* it MUST BE incremented by the application when it
* does not return the buffer immediately, and decremented
* when the buffer is finally freed.
*
* The kernel side of netmap uses two additional fields in the kring:
* nr_hwcur is a copy of nr_cur on an NIOCRXSYNC
* nr_hwavail is the number of packets available. It is updated
* on INTR (inc by the number of new packets arrived)
* and on NIOCRXSYNC (decreased by nr_cur - nr_hwcur).
*
* DATA OWNERSHIP/LOCKING:
* The netmap_ring is owned by the user program and it is only
* accessed or modified in the upper half of the kernel during
* a system call.
*
* The netmap_kring is only modified by the upper half of the kernel.
