669f23dee5 Update mxge(4) firmware to 1.4.48b (latest available) from Myricom.
Pertinant highlights from Myricom CHANGES file include:

- Make sure invalid external smbus activity cannot affect performance
- Fix to avoid a bug where the link could sometimes stay reported as
   up on after unplugging the cable.
- For 8B NIC, make smbus connection passive at init to avoid
   possible address conflicts
- Increase number of slices to 17 for multi-slice fw
- Fix a bug where packets dropped because of link_overflow could
     be occasionally reported as bad_crc32
- Add selectable failover strategy for dual-port chip: symmetric or primary/backup
- On failover, send RARP broadcast to make the change immediately
  known to the network
- Change endianess for PCI Device Serial Number
- For dual-port NICs, time to failover is now a few microsecs
    instead of a few millisecs.

f9298d3901 Update mxge firmware from 1.4.39 to 1.4.43. Changes include:
- Support for 10G-PCIE*-8B*-C (dual-port CX4)  NICs
- For dual-port NICs, f/w failover is now a few microsecs
    instead of a few millisecs.
-  On failover, f/w sends RARP broadcast to make the change
   immediately known to the network
- Fixed a bug observed on IBM X3 architecture where
   some spurious ecrc errors would be reported when OS enabled
   ecrc support.

016385508f Better support for recent Myricom 10GbE NICs
- Update to firmware 1.4.39 for dual-chip NIC (10G-PCIE2-xxx)
  support, and SFP+ i2c support

- Identify newer "B" NICs (10G-PCIEx-8B-x) correctly, rather than
  mis-identifying them as "A" NICs (cosmetic only)

- Identify the IFM_10G_LRM ifmedia type, where applicable.

- Identify ifmedia types for SFP+ based NICs

- Update copyright

9e6287bf10 Update to Myri10GE Firmware 1.4.36.
This update fixes a transmit bug in the multi-queue (MSI-X) firmware
which happens when RDMAs complete out of order, and provides
improved support for the new Myri10GE NIC models (10G-PCIE-8Bx)

88843c5481 Update to Myri10GE firmware version 1.4.33 from 1.4.29. Relevant changes include:
- Support for Myricom 10G-PCIE-8B NICs

- multi-slice firmware: fix a bug when the presence of 32-bit or
 64-bit DMA addresses for interrupt queues and data is not uniform across
 slices.

- Improves automatic selection between ethp_z8e/eth_z8e

615fc0983c Make the type of the firmware arrays match those
in the other eth*_z8e.h files.

1e413cf932 Add optional support to mxge for MSI-X interrupts and multiple receive
queues (which we call slices).  The NIC will steer traffic into up to
hw.mxge.max_slices different receive rings based on a configurable
hash type (hw.mxge.rss_hash_type).

Currently the driver defaults to using a single slice, so the default
behavior is unchanged.  Also, transmit from non-zero slices is
disabled currently.
