- Rework option processing.
- Use larger integers for memory size values in the
memory management code.

netmap: add notifications on kloop stop

On sync-kloop stop, send a wake-up signal to the kloop, so that
waiting for the timeout is not needed.
Also, improve logging in netmap_freebsd.c.

netmap: improvements to the netmap kloop (CSB mode)

Changelist:
- Add the proper memory barriers in the kloop ring processing
functions.
- Fix memory barriers usage in the user helpers (nm_sync_kloop_appl_write,
nm_sync_kloop_appl_read).
- Fix nm_kr_txempty() helper to look at rhead rather than rcur. This
is important since the kloop can read a value of rcur which is ahead
of the value of rhead (see explanation in nm_sync_kloop_appl_write)
- Remove obsolete ptnetmap_guest_write_kring_csb() and
ptnet_guest_read_kring_csb(), and update if_ptnet(4) to use those.
- Prepare in advance the arguments for netmap_sync_kloop_[tr]x_ring(),
to make the kloop faster.
- Provide kernel and user implementation for nm_ldld_barrier() and
nm_ldst_barrier()

MFC r341516, r341589

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.
