also for finding a one character bug that kept TSO from working.
Sometimes with direct attach cables a failure can occur in init,
the old method of calling detach was broken, there is no way to
return an error to the system from init, so I have changed it to
return failure thru the ioctl.
And, have fixed the ALTQ code changes of Max Laier, sorry Max :)
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.
MFC in a week
- 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.
on debug output. Add a new platform function requirement to allow
for printing based upon the ITL nexus instead of the isp unit plus
channel, target and lun. This allows some printouts and error messages
from the core code to appear in the same format as the platform's
subsystem (in FreeBSD's case, CAM path).

First, we compare mode table data against minimum value. If the mode table
does not make sense, we set the minimum in the mode info. When we actually
set the mode, we try VESA BIOS function and compare it against the previous
value. If it makes more sense, update the information.
Andrew Turner. The kernel supports the LN2410SBC evaluation board,
and likely others. These parts (or similar ones) are in some open
hardware designs for phones.

- Don't leak slice resources when mxge_alloc_rings() fails
- Start taskq threads only after we know attach will succeed. At
boot time, taskqueue_terminate() will loop infinately, waiting
for the threads to exit, and hang the system.

Untangle some of the confusion about what role means when it's in the FCPARAM/SDPARAM
or isp_fc/isp_spi structures. This fixed a problem about seeing targets appear if you've
turned off autologin and find them, or rather don't, via camcontrol rescan.

configuration space on Yukon Ultra(88E8056) such that accesses to
these registers were NOPs which in turn make msk(4) instable on
this controller. Use indirect access method to access
PCI_OUR_REG_[1-5] registers. This should fix a long standing
instability bug which prevented msk(4) working on Yukon Ultra.
Special thanks to koitsu who gave me remote access to his system.

arcconf tool by Adaptec already seems to use for identifying the
Serial Number of the devices.
Some simple things (like FIB setup and bound checks) are retrieved
from the Adaptec's driver, but this implementation is quite different
because it does use the normal buffer dmat area for loading segments
and not a special one (like the Adaptec's one does).
