The vlib init function subsystem now supports a mix of procedural and
formally-specified ordering constraints. We should eliminate procedural
knowledge wherever possible.
The following schemes are *roughly* equivalent:
static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm)
{
clib_error_t *error;
... do some stuff...
if ((error = vlib_call_init_function (init_runs_next)))
return error;
...
}
VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first);
and
static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm)
{
... do some stuff...
}
VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first) =
{
.runs_before = VLIB_INITS("init_runs_next"),
};
The first form will [most likely] call "init_runs_next" on the
spot. The second form means that "init_runs_first" runs before
"init_runs_next," possibly much earlier in the sequence.
Please DO NOT construct sets of init functions where A before B
actually means A *right before* B. It's not necessary - simply combine
A and B - and it leads to hugely annoying debugging exercises when
trying to switch from ad-hoc procedural ordering constraints to formal
ordering constraints.

- Make plugin descriptions more consistent
so the output of "show plugin" can be
used in the wiki.

for easy integration with ptoducts running their own Ike stack.
Without the VPP IKE plugin loaded, the product is free to handle
IKE packets as it pleases.
