config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying
device ath_hal
gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.

AT91C_MAIN_CLOCK option in kernel config.

o Move board_init to new board_kb920x.c
o rename ramsize to at91_ramsize and make it accessible to board_* files.
o Delete files.kb920x. We can do this selection with the new boards.
o Add a stub for the tsc4370 board init, which will be added in
a future commit.

- add memory barriers to <machine/atomic.h>
- update drivers to only conditionally define their own
- add lockless producer / consumer ring buffer
- remove ring buffer implementation from cxgb and update its callers
- add if_transmit(struct ifnet *ifp, struct mbuf *m) to ifnet to
allow drivers to efficiently manage multiple hardware queues
(i.e. not serialize all packets through one ifq)
- expose if_qflush to allow drivers to flush any driver managed queues

Remove the first two from all kernel configuration files and
change geom_bsd and geom_mbr from standard to optional.
This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).
Only netbooting is supported at the moment.

FreeBSD 8-CURRENT was tested and run successfully on the following eval
boards and devices :
* DB-88F5182, DB-88F5281 (Orion based)
* DB-88F6281, RD-88F6281 (Kirkwood based)
* DB-78100 (Discovery based)

The above families of SOCs are built around CPU cores compliant with ARMv5TE
instruction set architecture definition. They share a number of integrated
peripherals. This commit brings support for the following basic elements:
* GPIO
* Interrupt controller
* L1, L2 cache
* Timers, watchdog, RTC
* TWSI (I2C)
* UART
Other peripherals drivers will be introduced separately.

The physical page which we clear is accessed via additional temp kernel
mapping for the period of zeroing operation. However in systems with virtual
d-cache (most ARMs) when write-allocate feature is enabled, we can have
modified but unflushed content pertaining to this physical page still in the
d-cache due to its primary (pre-existing) mapping. In such scenario that
cached content upon flush is likely to overwrite [portions of] the physical
page we want to zero here..
This is a general problem with multiple virtual mappings covering the same
physical page with write-allocate and virtual d-cache: there is inherent
potential for corruptions of this kind, which are not easily resolved; it is
best policy that such multiple mappings be not allowed.

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.
