/*
 * This module implements netmap support on top of standard,
 * unmodified device drivers.
 *
 * A NIOCREGIF request is handled here if the device does not
 * have native support. TX and RX rings are emulated as follows:
 *
 * NIOCREGIF
 *	We preallocate a block of TX mbufs (roughly as many as
 *	tx descriptors; the number is not critical) to speed up
 *	operation during transmissions. The refcount on most of
 *	these buffers is artificially bumped up so we can recycle
 *	them more easily. Also, the destructor is intercepted
 *	so we use it as an interrupt notification to wake up
 *	processes blocked on a poll().
 *
 *	For each receive ring we allocate one "struct mbq"
 *	(an mbuf tailq plus a spinlock). We intercept packets
 *	(through if_input)
 *	on the receive path and put them in the mbq from which
 *	netmap receive routines can grab them.
 *
 * TX:
 *	in the generic_txsync() routine, netmap buffers are copied
 *	(or linked, in a future) to the preallocated mbufs
 *	and pushed to the transmit queue. Some of these mbufs
 *	(those with NS_REPORT, or otherwise every half ring)
 *	have the refcount=1, others have refcount=2.
 *	When the destructor is invoked, we take that as
 *	a notification that all mbufs up to that one in
 *	the specific ring have been completed, and generate
 *	the equivalent of a transmit interrupt.
 *
 * RX:
