Squashed commit of the following:
Fix up some final compile isses.
net/netdev: Convert the network down notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/udp: Convert the UDP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
net/tcp: Convert the TCP readahead notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
mm/iob: Convert the IOB notification logic to use the new wqueue-based notification factility.
sched/wqueue: Signals are not good IPCs to support the target poll functionality for several reasons including the amount of data that can be passed with a signal and in the fact that in protected and kernel modes, user threads executing signal handlers in protected, kernel memory is problematic. Instead, convert the same logic to perform the notifications via function callback on the high priority work queue.
Squashed commit of the following:
net/tcp: Add signal notification for the case when UDP read-ahead data is buffered. This is basically of clone of the TCP notification logic with naming adapted for UDP.

In connection-mode UDP sockets, a remote address is retained in the UDP connection structure. This determines both there send() will send the packets and which packets recv() will accept.
This same mechanism is used for connection-less UDP sendto: A temporary remote address is written into the connection structure to support the sendto() operation. That address persists until the next recvfrom() when it is reset to accept any address.
When UDP read-ahead buffering is enabled, however, that means that the old, invalid remote address can be left in the connection structure for some time. This can cause read-ahead buffer to fail, dropping UDP packets.
Shortening the time between when he remote address is reset (i.e., immediately after the sendto() completes) is not a solution, that does not eliminate the race condition; in only makes it smaller.
With this change, a flag was added to the connection structure to indicate if the UDP socket is in connection mode or if it is connection-less. This change effects only UDP receive operations: The remote address in the UDP connection is always ignored if the UDP socket is not in connection-mode.
No for connection-mode sockets, that remote address behaves as before. But for connection-less sockets, it is only used by sendto().
Squashed commit of the following:
net/udp: Address most of the issues with UDP write buffering. There is a remaining issue with handling one network going down in a multi-network environment. None of this has been test but it is certainly ready for test. Hence, the feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL.
net/udp: Some baby steps toward a corrected write buffering design.
net/udp: Remove pesky write buffer macros.
Eliminate trailing space at the end of lines.
net/udp: A little more UDP write buffering logic. Still at least on big gaping hole in the design.
net/udp: Undefined CONFIG_NET_SENDTO_TIMEOUT.
net/udp: Crude, naive port of the TCP write buffering logic into UDP. This commit is certainly non-functional and is simply a starting point for the implementatin of UDP write buffering.
net/udp: Rename udp/udp_psock_sendto.c udp/udp_psock_sendto_unbuffered.c.
User-space networking stack API allows user-space daemon to
provide TCP/IP stack implementation for NuttX network.
Main use for this is to allow use and seamless integration of
HW-provided TCP/IP stacks to NuttX.
For example, user-space daemon can translate /dev/usrsock
API requests to HW TCP/IP API requests while rest of the
user-space can access standard socket API, with socket
descriptors that can be used with NuttX system calls.
net/socket, net/tcp, net/udp: Add logic to select the domain of the outputgoing packet before sending any UDP or TCP packet. This sets the bit to indicate the IPv4 or IPv6 domain and the correct offset to the output going payload data.
