Most kernel memory that is allocated after boot does not need to be
executable. There are a few exceptions. For example, kernel modules
do need executable memory, but they don't use UMA or malloc(9). The
BPF JIT compiler also needs executable memory and did use malloc(9)
until r317072.
(Note that a side effect of r316767 was that the "small allocation"
path in UMA on amd64 already returned non-executable memory. This
meant that some calls to malloc(9) or the UMA zone(9) allocator could
return executable memory, while others could return non-executable
memory. This change makes the behavior consistent.)
This change makes malloc(9) return non-executable memory unless the new
M_EXEC flag is specified. After this change, the UMA zone(9) allocator
will always return non-executable memory, and a KASSERT will catch
attempts to use the M_EXEC flag to allocate executable memory using
uma_zalloc() or its variants.
Allocations that do need executable memory have various choices. They
may use the M_EXEC flag to malloc(9), or they may use a different VM
interfact to obtain executable pages.
Now that malloc(9) again allows executable allocations, this change also
reverts most of r317072.

Lack of functioning link and activity LEDs on devices without an EEPROM
is expected (not a bug). Quoting the EVB-LAN7850 User's Guide:
When configured with the default internal register settings, the
Ethernet Link status LEDs are not enabled. To enable Ethernet Link
status LEDs, enable the EEPROM.
This is an artifact of the different ways in which the evaluation board
can be used. End-user USB-Ethernet adapters using the Microchip LAN78XX
or LAN7515 controllers should use an EEPROM or have OTP configuration,
if their product configuration does not match the boot default register
configuration.

Differences between LAN7800 and LAN7850 from the driver's perspective:
* The LAN7800 muxes EEPROM signals with LEDs, so LED mode needs to be
disabled when reading/writing EEPROM. The EEPROM is not muxed on the
LAN7850.
* The Linux driver enables automatic duplex and speed detection when
there is no EEPROM, for the LAN7800 only. With this FreeBSD driver
LAN7850-based adapters without a configuration EEPROM fail to link
(with or without the automatic duplex and speed detection code), so
I have just followed the example of the Linux driver for now.

Each protocol, that can be handled by if_gif(4) interface is registered

Default to color numbers in reverse order to CPU numbers (instead of
