Reusing the per-queue interrupt task could result in both an interrupt

single queue resulting in out-of-order packet processing.

Replace last remaining call to igb_start() with a loop to kick off

Thanks to Arnaud Lacombe for noticing the problem.
- Add the change made in em to the actual unrefreshed number
of descriptors is used as a basis in rxeof on the way out
to determine if more refresh is needed. NOTE: there is a
difference in the ring setup in igb, this is not accidental,
it is necessitated by hardware behavior, when you reset the
newer adapters it will not let you write RDH, it ALWAYS sets
it to 0. Thus the way em does it is not possible.
- Change the sysctl handling of flow control, it will now make
the change dynamically when the variable setting changes rather
than requiring a reset.
- Change the eee sysctl naming, validation found the old unintuitive :)
- Last but not least, some important performance tweaks in the TX
path, I found that UDP behavior could be drastically hindered or
improved with just small changes in the start loop. What I have
here is what testing has shown to be the best overall. Its interesting
to note that changing the clean threshold to start at a full half of
the ring, made a BIG difference in performance. I hope that this
will prove to be advantageous for most workloads.

- this also includes virtualization support on these devices
Correct some vlan issues we were seeing in test, jumbo frames on vlans
did not work correctly, this was all due to confused logic around HW
filters, the new code should now work for all uses.
Important fix: when mbuf resources are depeleted, it was possible to
completely empty the RX ring, and then the RX engine would stall
forever. This is fixed by a flag being set whenever the refresh code
fails due to an mbuf shortage, also the local timer now makes sure
that all queues get an interrupt when it runs, the interrupt code
will then always call rxeof, and in that routine the first thing done
is now to check the refresh flag and call refresh_mbufs. This has been
verified to fix this type 'hang'. Similar code will follow in the other
drivers.
Finally, sync up shared code for the I350 support.
Thanks to everyone that has been reporting issues, and helping in the
debug/test process!!
- failure code in em_xmit got mangled along the way
and was not properly handling errors.
- local timer code had a leftover UNLOCK call that

- Fixes from John Baldwin: vlan shadow tables made per/interface,
make vlan hw setup only happen when capability enabled, and
finally, make a tuneable interrupt rate. Thanks John!
- Tweaked watchdog handling to avoid any false positives, now
detection is in the TX clean path, with only the final check
and init happening in the local timer.
- limit queues to 8 for all devices, with 82576 or 82580 on
larger machines it can get greater than this, and it seems
mostly a resource waste to do so. Even 8 might be high but
it can be manually reduced.
- use 2k, 4k and now 9k clusters based on the MTU size.
- rework the igb_refresh_mbuf() code, its important to
make sure the descriptor is rewritten even when reusing
mbufs since writeback clobbers things.

- Add a single sysctl procedure to all three drivers to read an arbitrary
register (the register is passed as arg2). Use it to replace existing
routines in igb(4) that used a separate routine for each register, and
to add support for missing stats in em(4) and lem(4).
- Move the 'rx_overruns' and 'watchdog_timeouts' stats out of the MAC stats
section as they are driver stats, not MAC counters.
- Simplify the code that creates per-queue stats in igb(4) to use a single
loop and remove duplicated code.
- Properly read all 64 bits of the 'good octets received/transmitted' in
em(4) and lem(4).
- Actually read the interrupt count registers in em(4), and drop the
'host to card' sysctl stats from em(4) as they are not implemented in
any of the hardware this driver supports.
- Restore several stats to em(4) that were lost in the earlier stats
conversion including per-queue stats.
- Export several MAC stats in em(4) that were exported in igb(4) but not
in em(4).
- Export stats in lem(4) using individual sysctls as in em(4) and igb(4).
