Luigi Rizzo 4b62214f4a Increase the (arbitrary) limit for the number of packets per tick
from 1k to 20k The previous value was good 10 years ago, but not
anymore now.

More importantly, lots of good surprises:
polling is incredibly effective under virtualization, and not only
prevents livelock but also saves most of the VM exit overhead in
receive mode.

Using polling, a FreeBSD instance under qemu-kvm remains perfectly
responsive even when bombed with 10 Mpps over an emulated e1000,
and happily processes 1.7 Mpps through ipfw.

Note that some incompatibilities still remain: e.g. polling is not
(yet) compatible with netmap, and seems to freeze the guest when
kern.polling.idle_poll=1

* Polling support for [network] device drivers.
*
* Drivers which support this feature can register with the
* polling code.
*
* If registration is successful, the driver must disable interrupts,
* and further I/O is performed through the handler, which is invoked
* (at least once per clock tick) with 3 arguments: the "arg" passed at
* register time (a struct ifnet pointer), a command, and a "count" limit.
*
* The command can be one of the following:
* POLL_ONLY: quick move of "count" packets from input/output queues.
* POLL_AND_CHECK_STATUS: as above, plus check status registers or do
* other more expensive operations. This command is issued periodically
* but less frequently than POLL_ONLY.
*
* The count limit specifies how much work the handler can do during the
* call -- typically this is the number of packets to be received, or
* transmitted, etc. (drivers are free to interpret this number, as long
* as the max time spent in the function grows roughly linearly with the
* count).
*
* Polling is enabled and disabled via setting IFCAP_POLLING flag on
* the interface. The driver ioctl handler should register interface
* with polling and disable interrupts, if registration was successful.
*
* A second variable controls the sharing of CPU between polling/kernel
* network processing, and other activities (typically userlevel tasks):
* kern.polling.user_frac (between 0 and 100, default 50) sets the share
* of CPU allocated to user tasks. CPU is allocated proportionally to the
* shares, by dynamically adjusting the "count" (poll_burst).
*
* Other parameters can should be left to their default values.
* The following constraints hold
*
* 1 <= poll_each_burst <= poll_burst <= poll_burst_max
* MIN_POLL_BURST_MAX <= poll_burst_max <= MAX_POLL_BURST_MAX
