kernel: Remove ndis(4) and associated tools and stuff.

ndis(4) was a wrapper to allow running binary Windows network
drivers that conformed to the Network Driver Interface Specification,
i.e. NDIS.

It only ever supported drivers from the days of Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003 (i.e. NDIS 5.1). And even if one was actually
able to extract the .sys and .inf files from the driver package and
successfully convert them to a building module, which both were
adventures in itself, it could be any result when trying to run it,
depending on the card and driver, from resonably working to not
working, even crashing. But it did work for some cards, so it had
some limited merit in its time.

NetBSD removed it in 2018, FreeBSD in January 2021, so let's follow
suit now.

* Using contigmalloc for allocating dr_txhdr_cache, because kmalloc on
DragonFly wouldn't always give us physically contiguous memory.

* Keeping the old code for (MSI) interrupt allocation, which puts things
into the softc struct, and not into the bwn_mac struct like the new code.

* XXX Not tested yet, also some local changes might be missing still.
* XXX Didn't sync dev/netif/bwn/siba_bwn from FreeBSD yet, but bwn might
already work for the previously supported chipsets like this.

iwm - DragonFly modifications and a bug fix

* Modifications to make iwm build for DragonFly.

* Fix a serious bug, iwm_stop_device() must clear the rxq stat
data primarily to reset to hw rx ring index to 0. Otherwise
all packets already handled from 0 to the current hw rx ring index
will be reprocessed on restart.

* Implement iwmsleep() instead of using msleep(). iwmsleep() will
handle exiting and re-entering the wlan_serializer. Without this
we can easily deadlock on the double lock.

* Implement Makefile infrastructure.

* Revert the FreeBSD patch to remove the per-debvice netif, since our
802.11 infrastructure has not yet been updated for that.

* Purge the ifq on start if the interface is not running.

* Misc other DragonFly adjustments.

ix: Import Intel ixgbe-2.5.15

MSI and legacy interrupt (line based interrupt) are working as of this
commit. polling(4) will be supported and MSI-X will be brought back in
the later commits.

ixgbe is renamed to ix, which is consistent w/ the interface name, and
this makes 'ifconfig ix0' work as expected.

Local changes:
- Reorganize RX and TX ring data structure; nuke useless 'queue'.
- Rework RX and TX ring creation, destroy, initialization and cleanup.
- Reorganize interrupt related data structure. This also prepares for
bringing MSI-X back.
- Rework interrupt allocation.
- Rework MSI and legacy interrupt handler.
- Enable RSS (2 RX rings) even if MSI or legacy interrupt is used.
- Apply DragonFly specific RSS configuration.
- Partially rework RX code path.
- Enable TX header write-back.
- Rework TX code path and TX watchdog mechanism.
- Rework busdma(9) related bits.
- Rework ifnet.if_ioctl method.
- Reorganize initialize and stop code.
- Reorganize attach and detach code.
- Code clean up.

kernel/netif: Bring in the oce(4) driver for Emulex OneConnect 10Gb NICs.

According to the manual page, it supports:

* Emulex BladeEngine 2
* Emulex BladeEngine 3
* Emulex Lancer

It seems to be in solid shape, but some features remain yet unported
(such as MSI-X support). Also, the module is named 'if_oce.ko' in
DragonFly (like it is with all other network drivers) instead of
'oce.ko' like in FreeBSD.

The driver was tested by Mihai Carabas with a BladeEngine 3 adapter.
