cards supported by cxgbe(4).
On the host side this driver interfaces with the storage stack via the
ICL (iSCSI Common Layer) in the kernel. On the wire the traffic is
standard iSCSI (SCSI over TCP as per RFC 3720/7143 etc.) that
interoperates with all other standards compliant implementations. The
driver is layered on top of the TOE driver (t4_tom) and promotes
connections being handled by t4_tom to iSCSI ULP (Upper Layer Protocol)
mode. Hardware assistance in this mode includes:
- Full TCP processing.
- iSCSI PDU identification and recovery within the TCP stream.
- Header and/or data digest insertion (tx) and verification (rx).
- Zero copy (both tx and rx).
Man page will follow in a separate commit in a couple of weeks.

Before this change virtual ports control IOCBs were executed synchronously
via Execute IOCB mailbox command. It required exclusive use of scratch
space of driver and mailbox registers of the hardware. Because of that
shared resources use this code could not really sleep, having to spin for
completion, blocking any other operation.
This change introduces new asynchronous design, sending the IOCBs directly
on request queue and gracefully waiting for their return on response queue.
Returned IOCBs are identified with unified handle space from r292725.
The mdio driver interface is generally useful for devices that require
MDIO without the full MII bus interface. This lifts the driver/interface
out of etherswitch(4), and adds a mdio(4) man page.

I am not sure why this was split long ago, but I see no reason for it.
At this point this unification just slightly reduces memory usage, but
as next step I plan to reuse shared handle space for other IOCB types.
POSIX requires for the c99 compiler.
(In fact, our c99(1) already ignores -lxnet; but our make(1) doesn't set
${CC} correctly, and our cc(1) treats xnet like any other library.)

These are all works in progress. Notably - no wifi support just yet!

This is a work in progress; bringing the interface down stops further
use. It only happens on RT5350/MT7620.
This is based on work by Alexander A. Mityaev <sansan@adm.ua>.

where);
* Add in some USB OTG changes to be aware of the newer stuff;
* Add in a configurable primary console - some chips use the normal UART,
some use UARTLITE.

MSI-X interrupts are needed on some hardware, for example the Cavium
ThunderX only supports them, and with this we don't fall back to polling.

Summary:
With some additional changes for AIM, that could also support much
larger physmem sizes. Given that 32-bit AIM is more or less obsolete, though,
it's not worth it at this time.
