in a device independent manner. Also include an example anticipatory
scheduler, gsched_rr, which gives very nice performance improvements
in presence of competing random access patterns.
This is joint work with Fabio Checconi, developed last year
and presented at BSDCan 2009. You can find details in the
README file or at

This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).
[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

em revision 7.0.0:
- Using driver devclass, seperate legacy (pre-pcie) code
into a seperate source file. This will at least help
protect against regression issues. It compiles along
with em, and is transparent to end use, devices in each
appear to be 'emX'. When using em in a modular form this
also allows the legacy stuff to be defined out.
- Add tx and rx rings as in igb, in the 82574 this becomes
actual multiqueue for the first time (2 queues) while in
other PCIE adapters its just make code cleaner.
- Add RX mbuf handling logic that matches igb, this will
eliminate packet drops due to temporary mbuf shortage.
igb revision 1.9.3:
- Following the ixgbe code, use a new approach in what
was called 'get_buf', the routine now has been made
independent of rxeof, it now does the update to the
engine TDT register, this design allows temporary
mbuf resources to become non-critical, not requiring
a packet to be discarded, instead it just returns and
does not increment the tail pointer.
- With the above change it was also unnecessary to keep
'spare' maps around, since we do not have the discard
issue.
- Performance tweaks and improvements to the code also.

o Don't build vpo and syscons on mips or arm either
o Add a section for mips and arm breakages, and document why.
This is easier than opting in on all the other architectures:
# no BUS_SPACE_UNSPECIFIED: bce, bwi, bwn, mfi, mpt, siba_bwn
# No barrier instruction support (specific to this driver): sym
# no uart_cpu_$MACHINE_ARCH: uart
(mips has, by inspection, the same issues as arm, so ditto for it)

o Switch to ITANIUM2 has the cpu. This has absolutely no effect
on the code, but makes for a better example.
o Drop COMPAT_FREEBSD6. We're tier 2, so you're supposed to run
8-stable or newer.
o Add PREEMPTION. It works now.
o Remove HWPMC_HOOKS. We don't have support for hwpmc yet.
o Add a bunch of new devices: atapist, hptiop, amr, ips, twa, igb,
ixgbe, ae, age, alc, ale, bce, bfe, et, jme, msk, nge, sk, ste,
stge, tx, vge, axe, rue, udav, fwip, and all USB serial.
o Remove "legacy" devices: le, vx, dc, pcn, rl, sis.

- add some new hardware support for 82599
- Big change to interrupt architecture, it now
uses a queue which contains an RX/TX pair as
the recipient of the interrupt. This will reduce
overall system interrupts/msix usage.
- Improved RX mbuf handling: the old get_buf routine
is no longer synchronized with rxeof, this allows
the elimination of packet discards due to mbuf
allocation failure.
- Much simplified and improved AIM code, it now
happens in the queue interrupt context and takes
into account both the traffic on the RX AND TX
side.
- variety of small tweaks, like ring size, that have
been seen as performance improvements.
- Thanks to those that provided feedback or suggested
changes, I hope I've caught all of them.

This is just an initial step that should lead to a more complete effort.
For the moment, a very simple porting of cpufreq modules, BIOS calls and
the whole MD specific ISA bus part is added to the sub-tree but ideally
a lot of code might be added and more shared support should grow.

Note that due to e.g. write throttling ('wdrain'), it can stall all the disk

The hardware is compliant with WDRT specification, so I originally
considered including generic WDRT watchdog support, but decided
against it, because I couldn't find anyone to the code for me.
WDRT seems to be not very popular.
Besides, generic WDRT porbably requires a slightly different driver
approach.
