The S/G list must be mapped AS-IS without any optimisations.
This also implies that sg_dma_len() must be equal to sg->length.
Many Linux drivers assume this and this fixes some DRM issues.
Put the BUS DMA map pointer into the scatter-gather list to
allow multiple mappings on the same physical memory address.
The FreeBSD version has been bumped to force recompilation of
external kernel modules.

The i915kms driver in Linux 4.9 reimplement parts of the scatter list
functions with regards to performance. In other words there is not so
much room for changing structure layouts and functionality if the
i915kms should be built AS-IS. This patch aligns the scatter list
support to what is expected by the i915kms driver. Remove some
comments not needed while at it.

- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.
