While currently the ifp gets cast to a net_device and then returned
and consumers are expecting an ifp again, allow parallel usage now and
in the future by extending and also passing the ifp directly back in
the netdev_notifier_info. Add a function to return the ifp instead of
the net_device.

Now that mlx4 and ofed either are operating on ifnet functions
directly or have a private copy of these macros, we can remove them
from linux/netdevice.h.
With this only the #define for net_device to ifnet is left.

This removes all unused bits from linux/netdevice.h and migrates two
inline functions into the mlx4 and ofed code respectively.
This gets the mlx4/ofed (struct ifnet) specific bits down to 7 lines
in netdevice.h.

Introduce struct netdev_notifier_info as a container to pass
net_device to the callback functions.
Adjust netdev_notifier_info_to_dev() to return the net_device field.
Add explicit casts from ifp to ni->dev even though currently
struct net_device is defined to struct ifnet. This is needed in
preparation for untangling this and improving the net_device compat
code.

Support is implemented by mapping Linux's "struct net" into FreeBSD's
"struct vnet". Currently only vnet0 is supported by ibcore.

- Properly prefix internal functions with "linux_" instead of only a
single underscore to avoid future namespace collisions.
- Make some functions global instead of inline to ease debugging and
to avoid unnecessary code duplication.
- Remove no longer existing kthread_create() function's prototype.

- 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.
