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.
- Allow LRO to be enabled / disabled at runtime
- Fix a double-free at module unload time.
- Only update timestamp in lro merge when it is present in the frame

- Update to the latest (1.4.18) f/w. This f/w introduces a new
receive mode which allows us to use FreeBSD's physically discontinuous
MJUM9BYTES clusters.
- Switch the driver from chaining MJUMPAGESIZE clusters to using
MJUM9BYTES clusters to avoid mbuf chaining overheads. Due to this
change, people running obsolete f/w images will be limited to an MTU of
PAGE_SIZE - 16.
- Add (disabled by default) support for Large Receive Offload.
