These chips are typically not fitted with an EEPROM which means
that we have to obtain the MAC address via OFW and that some chip
tests will just always fail.
These changes are based on the respective code found in OpenBSD
with some additional info obtained from OpenSolaris and some style
suggestions by jkim@. They also have the desired side-effect of
respecting the 'local-mac-address?' system configuration variable
for the affected BGEs.

initializing these for polling mode and not toggling them when switching

engine in the toggling.
been handled instead of when at least one descriptor was just handled.
For bge, it is normal to get a txeof when only a small fraction of the
queued tx descriptors have been handled, so the bug broke the watchdog
in a usual case.
- moved the synchronizing bus read to after the bus write for the first
interrupt ack so that it actually synchronizes everything necessary.
We were acking not only the status update that triggered the interrupt
together with any status updates that occurred before we got around
to the bus write for the ack, but also any status updates that occur
after we do the bus write but before the write reaches the device.
The corresponding race for the second interrupt ack resulted in
sometimes returning from the interrupt handler with acked but
unserviced interrupt events. Such events then remain unserviced
until further events cause another interrupt or the watchdog times
out.
The race was often lost on my 5705, apparently since my 5705 has broken
event coalescing which causes a status update for almost every packet,
so another status update is quite likely to occur while the interrupt
handler is running. Watchdog timeouts weren't very noticeable,
apparently because bge_txeof() has one of the usual bugs resetting the
watchdog.
- don't disable device interrupts while bge_intr() is running. Doing this
just had the side effects of:
- entering a device mode in which different coalescing parameters apply.
Different coalescing parameters can be used to either inhibit or
enhance the chance of getting another status update while in the
interrupt handler. This feature is useless with the current
organization of the interrupt handler but might be useful with a
taskqueue handler.
- giving a race for ack+reenable/return. This cannot be handled
by simply rearranging the order of bus accesses like the race for
ack+keepenable/entry. It is necessary to sync the ack and then
check for new events.
- taking longer, especially with the extra code to avoid the race on
ack+reenable/return.

- Correct RX packet drop counter for BCM5705+. This register is read/clear
and it wraps very quickly under heavy packet drops because only the lower
ten bits are valid according to the documentation. However, it seems few
more bits are actually valid and the rest bits are always zeros[1].
Therefore, we don't mask them off here. To get accurate packet drop count,
we need to check the register from bge_rxeof(). It is commented out for now,
not to penalize normal operation. Actual performance impact should be
measured later.
- Correct integer casting from u_long to uint32_t. Casting is not really
needed for all supported platforms but we better do this correctly[2].

Unfortunately we cannot do the same for output errors because ifOutDiscards

m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf
signifies the presence and validity of its content.
Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received
VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the
ether_vtag mbuf packet header field:
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */
m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG;
to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag.
On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to
see if a VLAN tag is present and valid:
if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) {
... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */
... pass tag to hardware ...
}
VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary.
(Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any
byte swapping in the drivers.)
Remove zone_mtag_vlan UMA zone and MTAG_VLAN definition. No more tag
memory allocation have to be done.

to it. Try to co-operate with the IPMI/ASF firmware accessing the PHY.
One we get link we don't mess with the PHY. If we do then over time
the NIC will go off line. It would be nice if we could tell if IPMI
was enabled on the chip but I can't figure out a reliable way to do
that. The scheme I tried worked on a Dell PE850 but not on an HP machine.
So we assume any NIC that has ASF capability needs to deal with it.
The code was inspired by the support in Linux from kernel.org and Broadcom.
Broadcom did give me some info. but it is rather limited and is mostly
just what is in the Linux driver. Thanks to the numerous people that
helped debug the many prior versions and that I didn't break other
