Various fixes for ptnet/ptnetmap (passthrough of netmap ports). In detail:
- use PCI_VENDOR and PCI_DEVICE ids from a publicly allocated range
(thanks to RedHat)
- export memory pool information through PCI registers
- improve mechanism for configuring passthrough on different hypervisors
Code is from Vincenzo Maffione as a follow up to his GSOC work.

remove stale and unused code from various files
fix build on 32 bit platforms
simplify logic in netmap_virt.h

The commands (in net/netmap.h) to configure communication with the
hypervisor may be revised soon.
At the moment they are unused so this will not be a change of API.

Import the current version of netmap, aligned with the one on github.

This commit, long overdue, contains contributions in the last 2 years
from Stefano Garzarella, Giuseppe Lettieri, Vincenzo Maffione, including:
+ fixes on monitor ports
+ the 'ptnet' virtual device driver, and ptnetmap backend, for
high speed virtual passthrough on VMs (bhyve fixes in an upcoming commit)
+ improved emulated netmap mode
+ more robust error handling
+ removal of stale code
+ various fixes to code and documentation (some mixup between RX and TX
parameters, and private and public variables)

We also include an additional tool, nmreplay, which is functionally
equivalent to tcpreplay but operating on netmap ports.

Don't repeat the the word 'the'

(one manual change to fix grammar)

Confirmed With: db
Approved by: secteam (not really, but this is a comment typo fix)

sys/dev: minor spelling fixes.

Most affect comments, very few have user-visible effects.

Don't call enable_all_rings if the adapter has been freed.

This is a subtle use-after-free race that results in some very undesirable
hang behaviour.

add a use count so the netmap module cannot be unloaded while in use.

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.
