EARLY_AP_STARTUP was introduced in 2016 (commit fdce57a042) with note:
As a transition aid, the new behavior is moved under a new
kernel option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option
to be turned off if need be during initial testing. I hope to
enable this on x86 by default in a followup commit ...
It was enabled by default, but became effectively mandatory (on x86)
some time later. Move it to DEFAULTS to avoid an unbootable system if
the option is left out of a custom kernel configuration file.

Following the removal of general MIPS support, there's no longer a need
to have the AHB bus-frontend in place, which according to Linux sources
also isn't used with any non-MIPS SoCs. For simplicity, PCI bus support
is only made conditional on the main one again, i. e. device ath_pci is
removed, and built into the main module, i. e. if_ath_pci.ko obsoleted,
respectively.
Effectively, this reverts the following commits and associated changes:

NETLINK is going to replace rtsock and a number of other ioctl/sysctl interfaces.
In-base utilies such as route(8), netstat(8) and soon ifconfig(8)
are being converted to use netlink sockets as a transport between
kernel and userland.
In the current configuration, it still possible have the kernel
without NETLINK (`nooptions NETLINK`) and use the aforementioned
utilies by buidling the world with `WITHOUT_NETLINK` src.conf knob.
However, this approach does not cover the cases when person unintentionally
builds a custom kernel without netlink and tries to use the standard userland.
This change adds `option NETLINK` to the default options for each
architecture, fixing the custom kernel issue.
For arm, this change uses `std.armv6` and `std.armv7` (netlink already in)
instead of DEFAULTS.

Most options in kernel config files use "options<space><tab>OPTION".
This allows the option to be commented out without shifting columns.
A few options had two tabs, and some had spaces. Make them consistent.
Netlink is a communication protocol defined in RFC 3549. It is async,
TLV-based protocol, providing 1-1 and 1-many communications between kernel
and userland. Netlink is currently used in Linux kernel to modify, read and
subscribe for nearly all networking states. Interface state, addresses, routes,
firewall, rules, fibs, etc, are controlled via Netlink.
Netlink support was added in D36002. It has got a number of improvements and
first customers since then:
* net/bird2 got netlink support, enabling route multipath in FreeBSD
* netlink-based devd notifications are being worked on ( D37574 ).
* linux(4) fully supports and depends on Netlink
Enabling Netlink in GENERIC targets two goals.
The first one is to provide stability for the third-party userland applications,
so they can rely on the fact that netlink always exists since 14.0 and potentially 13.2.
Loadable module makes life of the app delepers harder. For example, `net/bird2` can be
either build with netlink or rtsock support, but not both.
The second goal is to enable gradual conversion of the base userland tools
to use netlink(4) interfaces. Converting tools like netstat (D36529), route,
ifconfig one-by-one simplifies testing and addressing the feedback.
Othewise, switching all base to use netlink at once may be too big of a leap.
This change targets amd64, the other architectures will follow soon.

NOTE: HEADS UP read the note below if your kernel config is not including GENERIC!!
This patch does a bit of cleanup on TCP congestion control modules. There were some rather
interesting surprises that one could get i.e. where you use a socket option to change
from one CC (say cc_cubic) to another CC (say cc_vegas) and you could in theory get
a memory failure and end up on cc_newreno. This is not what one would expect. The
new code fixes this by requiring a cc_data_sz() function so we can malloc with M_WAITOK
and pass in to the init function preallocated memory. The CC init is expected in this
case *not* to fail but if it does and a module does break the
"no fail with memory given" contract we do fall back to the CC that was in place at the time.
This also fixes up a set of common newreno utilities that can be shared amongst other
CC modules instead of the other CC modules reaching into newreno and executing
what they think is a "common and understood" function. Lets put these functions in
cc.c and that way we have a common place that is easily findable by future developers or
bug fixers. This also allows newreno to evolve and grow support for its features i.e. ABE
and HYSTART++ without having to dance through hoops for other CC modules, instead
both newreno and the other modules just call into the common functions if they desire
that behavior or roll there own if that makes more sense.
Note: This commit changes the kernel configuration!! If you are not using GENERIC in
some form you must add a CC module option (one of CC_NEWRENO, CC_VEGAS, CC_CUBIC,
CC_CDG, CC_CHD, CC_DCTCP, CC_HTCP, CC_HD). You can have more than one defined
as well if you desire. Note that if you create a kernel configuration that does not
define a congestion control module and includes INET or INET6 the kernel compile will
break. Also you need to define a default, generic adds 'options CC_DEFAULT=\"newreno\"
but you can specify any string that represents the name of the CC module (same names
that show up in the CC module list under net.inet.tcp.cc). If you fail to add the
options CC_DEFAULT in your kernel configuration the kernel build will also break.

Ability to load-balance traffic over multiple path is a must-have thing for routers.
It may be used by the servers to balance outgoing traffic over multiple default gateways.
The previous implementation, RADIX_MPATH stayed in the shadow for too long.
It was not well maintained, which lead us to a vicious circle - people were using
non-contiguous mask or firewalls to achieve similar goals. As a result, some routing
daemons implementation still don't have multipath support enabled for FreeBSD.
Turning on ROUTE_MPATH by default would fix it. It will allow to reduce networking
feature gap to other operating systems. Linux and OpenBSD enabled similar support
at least 5 years ago.
ROUTE_MPATH does not consume memory unless actually used. It enables around ~1k LOC.
It does not bring any behaviour changes for userland.
