at some offset. Unlike newer cards, the MAC address wasn't part of
the CIS as a specific FUNCE. These older cards were having their MAC
address show up as 0:2:4:6:8:a because that's what's in the ROM
locations that would be there in a real ne2000.
This patch allows one to specify the offset for the MAC address for
these cards. Specify one for the IBM Ethernet II card, as it is one
that has this problem. One shouldn't specify this unless the MAC
address really isn't in the CIS at all.
Side note: The novell probe likely shouldn't read the MAC address, and
that should be moved to the bus specific attach routine(s), maybe as a
convenience function in if_ed_novell.c.

The difference is that the callout function installed via the
ng_callout() method is guaranteed to NOT fire after the shutdown
method was run (when a node is marked NGF_INVALID). Also, the
shutdown method and the callout function are guaranteed to NOT
run at the same time, as both require the writer lock. Thus
we can safely ignore a zero return value from ng_uncallout()
(callout_stop()) in shutdown methods, and go on with freeing
the node.
The said revision broke the node shutdown -- ng_bridge_timeout()
is no longer fired after ng_bridge_shutdown() was run, resulting
in a memory leak, dead nodes, and inability to unload the module.
Fix this by cancelling the callout on shutdown, and moving part
responsible for freeing a node resources from ng_bridge_timer()
to ng_bridge_shutdown().

rather than forwarding interrupts from the clock devices around using IPIs:
- Add an IDT vector that pushes a clock frame and calls
lapic_handle_timer().
- Add functions to program the local APIC timer including setting the
divisor, and setting up the timer to either down a periodic countdown
or one-shot countdown.
- Add a lapic_setup_clock() function that the BSP calls from
cpu_init_clocks() to setup the local APIC timer if it is going to be
used. The setup uses a one-shot countdown to calibrate the timer. We
then program the timer on each CPU to fire at a frequency of hz * 3.
stathz is defined as freq / 23 (hz * 3 / 23), and profhz is defined as
freq / 2 (hz * 3 / 2). This gives the clocks relatively prime divisors
while keeping a low LCM for the frequency of the clock interrupts.
Thanks to Peter Jeremy for suggesting this approach.
- Remove the hardclock and statclock forwarding code including the two
associated IPIs. The bitmap IPI handler has now effectively degenerated
to just IPI_AST.

Windows DRIVER_OBJECT and DEVICE_OBJECT mechanism so that we can
simulate driver stacking.
In Windows, each loaded driver image is attached to a DRIVER_OBJECT
structure. Windows uses the registry to match up a given vendor/device
ID combination with a corresponding DRIVER_OBJECT. When a driver image
is first loaded, its DriverEntry() routine is invoked, which sets up
the AddDevice() function pointer in the DRIVER_OBJECT and creates
a dispatch table (based on IRP major codes). When a Windows bus driver
detects a new device, it creates a Physical Device Object (PDO) for
it. This is a DEVICE_OBJECT structure, with semantics analagous to
that of a device_t in FreeBSD. The Windows PNP manager will invoke
the driver's AddDevice() function and pass it pointers to the DRIVER_OBJECT
and the PDO.
The AddDevice() function then creates a new DRIVER_OBJECT structure of
its own. This is known as the Functional Device Object (FDO) and
corresponds roughly to a private softc instance. The driver uses
IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to add this device object to the
driver stack for this PDO. Subsequent drivers (called filter drivers
in Windows-speak) can be loaded which add themselves to the stack.
When someone issues an IRP to a device, it travel along the stack
passing through several possible filter drivers until it reaches
the functional driver (which actually knows how to talk to the hardware)
at which point it will be completed. This is how Windows achieves
driver layering.
Project Evil now simulates most of this. if_ndis now has a modevent
handler which will use MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD events to drive the
creation and destruction of DRIVER_OBJECTs. (The load event also
does the relocation/dynalinking of the image.) We don't have a registry,
so the DRIVER_OBJECTS are stored in a linked list for now. Eventually,
the list entry will contain the vendor/device ID list extracted from
the .INF file. When ndis_probe() is called and detectes a supported
device, it will create a PDO for the device instance and attach it
to the DRIVER_OBJECT just as in Windows. ndis_attach() will then call
our NdisAddDevice() handler to create the FDO. The NDIS miniport block
is now a device extension hung off the FDO, just as it is in Windows.
The miniport characteristics table is now an extension hung off the
DRIVER_OBJECT as well (the characteristics are the same for all devices
handled by a given driver, so they don't need to be per-instance.)
We also do an IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack() to put the FDO on the
stack for the PDO. There are a couple of fake bus drivers created
for the PCI and pccard buses. Eventually, there will be one for USB,
which will actually accept USB IRP.s
Things should still work just as before, only now we do things in
the proper order and maintain the correct framework to support passing
IRPs between drivers.

- update ndiscvt to make the drv_data symbol in ndis_driver_data.h a

callout is first initialised, using a new function callout_init_mtx().
The callout system will acquire this mutex before calling the callout
function and release it on return.
In addition, the callout system uses the mutex to avoid most of the
complications and race conditions inherent in asynchronous timer
facilities, so mutex-protected callouts have much simpler semantics.
As long as the mutex is held when invoking callout_stop() or
callout_reset(), then these functions will guarantee that the callout
will be stopped, even if softclock() had already begun to process
the callout.
Existing Giant-locked callouts will automatically pick up the new
race-free semantics. This should close a number of race conditions
in the USB code and probably other areas of the kernel too.
There should be no change in behaviour for "MP-safe" callouts; these
