Import virtio base, PCI front-end, and net/block/balloon drivers.

Tested on Qemu/KVM, VirtualBox, and BHyVe.

Currently built as modules-only on i386/amd64. Man pages not yet hooked
up, pending review.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vtnet
+.Nd VirtIO Ethernet driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device if_vtnet"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+if_vtnet_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+device driver provides support for VirtIO Ethernet devices.
+.Pp
+If the hypervisor advertises the appreciate features, the
+.Nm
+driver supports TCP/UDP checksum offload for both transmit and receive,
+TCP segmentation offload (TSO), TCP large receive offload (LRO), and
+hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion features, as well as a multicast
+hash filter, as well as Jumbo Frames (up to 9216 bytes), which can be
+configured via the interface MTU setting.
+Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.El
+.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
+Tunables can be set at the
+.Xr loader 8
+prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 .
+.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
+.It Va hw.vtnet.csum_disable
+This tunable disables receive and send checksum offload. The default
+value is 0.
+.It Va hw.vtnet.tso_disable
+This tunable disables TSO. The default value is 0.
+.It Va hw.vtnet.lro_disable
+This tunable disables LRO. The default value is 0.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Bryan Venteicher Aq bryanv@daemoninthecloset.org .
+It first appeared in
+.Fx 9.0 .
+.Sh CAVEATS
+The
+.Nm
+driver only supports LRO when the hypervisor advertises the
+mergeable buffer feature.
