+
+ * For each "interface" (NIC, host stack, PIPE, VALE switch port) bound to
+ * a file descriptor, the mmap()ed region contains a (logically readonly)
+ * struct netmap_if pointing to struct netmap_ring's.
+ *
+ * There is one netmap_ring per physical NIC ring, plus one tx/rx ring
+ * pair attached to the host stack (this pair is unused for non-NIC ports).
+ *
+ * All physical/host stack ports share the same memory region,
+ * so that zero-copy can be implemented between them.
+ * VALE switch ports instead have separate memory regions.
+ *
+ * The netmap_ring is the userspace-visible replica of the NIC ring.
+ * Each slot has the index of a buffer (MTU-sized and residing in the
+ * mmapped region), its length and some flags. An extra 64-bit pointer
+ * is provided for user-supplied buffers in the tx path.
+ *
+ * In user space, the buffer address is computed as
+ *	(char *)ring + buf_ofs + index * NETMAP_BUF_SIZE
+ *
+ * Added in NETMAP_API 11:
+ *
+ * + NIOCREGIF can request the allocation of extra spare buffers from
+ *   the same memory pool. The desired number of buffers must be in
+ *   nr_arg3. The ioctl may return fewer buffers, depending on memory
+ *   availability. nr_arg3 will return the actual value, and, once
+ *   mapped, nifp->ni_bufs_head will be the index of the first buffer.
+ *
+ *   The buffers are linked to each other using the first uint32_t
+ *   as the index. On close, ni_bufs_head must point to the list of
+ *   buffers to be released.
+ *
+ * + NIOCREGIF can request space for extra rings (and buffers)
+ *   allocated in the same memory space. The number of extra rings
+ *   is in nr_arg1, and is advisory. This is a no-op on NICs where
+ *   the size of the memory space is fixed.
+ *
+ * + NIOCREGIF can attach to PIPE rings sharing the same memory
+ *   space with a parent device. The ifname indicates the parent device,
+ *   which must already exist. Flags in nr_flags indicate if we want to
+ *   bind the master or slave side, the index (from nr_ringid)
+ *   is just a cookie and does not need to be sequential.
+ *
+ * + NIOCREGIF can also attach to 'monitor' rings that replicate
+ *   the content of specific rings, also from the same memory space.
+ *
+ *   Extra flags in nr_flags support the above functions.
+ *   Application libraries may use the following naming scheme:
+ *	netmap:foo			all NIC ring pairs
+ *	netmap:foo^			only host ring pair
+ *	netmap:foo+			all NIC ring + host ring pairs
+ *	netmap:foo-k			the k-th NIC ring pair
+ *	netmap:foo{k			PIPE ring pair k, master side
+ *	netmap:foo}k			PIPE ring pair k, slave side

+ *
+ * NIOCTXSYNC, NIOCRXSYNC synchronize tx or rx queues,
+ *	whose identity is set in NIOCREGIF through nr_ringid.
+ *	These are non blocking and take no argument.
+ *
+ * NIOCGINFO takes a struct ifreq, the interface name is the input,
+ *	the outputs are number of queues and number of descriptor
+ *	for each queue (useful to set number of threads etc.).
+ *	The info returned is only advisory and may change before
+ *	the interface is bound to a file descriptor.
+ *
+ * NIOCREGIF takes an interface name within a struct nmre,
+ *	and activates netmap mode on the interface (if possible).
+ *
+ * The argument to NIOCGINFO/NIOCREGIF overlays struct ifreq so we
+ * can pass it down to other NIC-related ioctls.
+ *
+ * The actual argument (struct nmreq) has a number of options to request
+ * different functions.
+ * The following are used in NIOCREGIF when nr_cmd == 0:
+ *
+ * nr_name	(in)
+ *	The name of the port (em0, valeXXX:YYY, etc.)
+ *	limited to IFNAMSIZ for backward compatibility.
+ *
+ * nr_version	(in/out)
+ *	Must match NETMAP_API as used in the kernel, error otherwise.
+ *	Always returns the desired value on output.
+ *
+ * nr_tx_slots, nr_tx_slots, nr_tx_rings, nr_rx_rings (in/out)
+ *	On input, non-zero values may be used to reconfigure the port
+ *	according to the requested values, but this is not guaranteed.
+ *	On output the actual values in use are reported.
+ *
+ * nr_ringid (in)
+ *	Indicates how rings should be bound to the file descriptors.
+ *	If nr_flags != 0, then the low bits (in NETMAP_RING_MASK)
+ *	are used to indicate the ring number, and nr_flags specifies
+ *	the actual rings to bind. NETMAP_NO_TX_POLL is unaffected.
+ *
+ *	NOTE: THE FOLLOWING (nr_flags == 0) IS DEPRECATED:
+ *	If nr_flags == 0, NETMAP_HW_RING and NETMAP_SW_RING control
+ *	the binding as follows:
+ *	0 (default)			binds all physical rings
+ *	NETMAP_HW_RING | ring number	binds a single ring pair
+ *	NETMAP_SW_RING			binds only the host tx/rx rings
+ *
+ *	NETMAP_NO_TX_POLL can be OR-ed to make select()/poll() push
+ *		packets on tx rings only if POLLOUT is set.
+ *		The default is to push any pending packet.
+ *
+ *	NETMAP_DO_RX_POLL can be OR-ed to make select()/poll() release
+ *		packets on rx rings also when POLLIN is NOT set.
+ *		The default is to touch the rx ring only with POLLIN.
+ *		Note that this is the opposite of TX because it
+ *		reflects the common usage.
+ *
+ *	NOTE: NETMAP_PRIV_MEM IS DEPRECATED, use nr_arg2 instead.
+ *	NETMAP_PRIV_MEM is set on return for ports that do not use
+ *		the global memory allocator.
+ *		This information is not significant and applications
+ *		should look at the region id in nr_arg2
+ *
+ * nr_flags	is the recommended mode to indicate which rings should
+ *		be bound to a file descriptor. Values are NR_REG_*
+ *
+ * nr_arg1 (in)	The number of extra rings to be reserved.
+ *		Especially when allocating a VALE port the system only
+ *		allocates the amount of memory needed for the port.
+ *		If more shared memory rings are desired (e.g. for pipes),
+ *		the first invocation for the same basename/allocator
+ *		should specify a suitable number. Memory cannot be
+ *		extended after the first allocation without closing
+ *		all ports on the same region.
+ *
+ * nr_arg2 (in/out) The identity of the memory region used.
+ *		On input, 0 means the system decides autonomously,
+ *		other values may try to select a specific region.
+ *		On return the actual value is reported.
+ *		Region '1' is the global allocator, normally shared
+ *		by all interfaces. Other values are private regions.
+ *		If two ports the same region zero-copy is possible.
+ *
+ * nr_arg3 (in/out)	number of extra buffers to be allocated.
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * nr_cmd (in)	if non-zero indicates a special command:
+ *	NETMAP_BDG_ATTACH	 and nr_name = vale*:ifname
+ *		attaches the NIC to the switch; nr_ringid specifies
+ *		which rings to use. Used by vale-ctl -a ...
