The current code was rounding down the maximum frame size instead of
routing up, resulting in a read size of 1024 bytes, in the non-jumbo
frame case, and splitting the packets across multiple mbufs.
Consequently the above problem exposed another issue, which is when
packets were splitted across multiple mbufs, and all of the mbufs in the
chain have the M_PKTHDR flag set.

crusty, and this still isn't perfect, but its at least a bit
more recent.
Secondly, a few improvements to the driver from Andrew Boyer,
support hint to allow devices to not attach, add VLAN_HWTSO
capability so vlans can use TSO, fix in the interrupt handler
to make sure the stack TX queue is processed. Oh, and also
make sure IPv6 does not cause a re-init in the ioctl routine.
Thanks for your efforts Andrew!
Thanks to Claudio Jeker for noticing the ixgbe_xmit() routine
was not correctly swapping the dma map from the first to the
last descriptor in a multi-descriptor transmission, corrected
this.
- Also a couple minor tweaks to the TX code from the same source.
- Add the INET ioctl code which has been missing from this driver,
and which caused IP aliases to reset the interface.
- Last, some minor logic changes that just reflect upcoming
hardware support, but have no other functional effect now.

CRITICAL FIX - with stats changes the older 82598 will panic
and trash the stack on driver load, FCOE registers ONLY exist
in 82599 and must not be read otherwise.
kern/153951 - to correct incorrect media type on adapters
with pluggable modules I have eliminated the old static
table in favor of a new dynamic shared code routine. This
also has the benefit of detecting changes when a different
module is inserted.
Performance/enhancement to the Flow Director code from my
linux coworker (the developer of the code).
Fixes from Michael Tuexen - a data corruption problem on the
82599 (CRITICAL), fix so the buf size correctly adjusts as
the cluster changes, and max descriptors are set properly.
Also added 16K clusters for those REALLY big jumbos :)
In the RX path, the RX LOCK was not being released, and this
causes LOR problems. Add the code that igb already has.
Sync with in house shared code, this was necessary for the
Flow Director fix.

finding. The test to compare the mbuf m_len against
a fixed value and then returning needs to be removed.
When using VLANS and doing HW_TAGGING, and IPV6, the
ICMP6 packets actually fail this condition, the constant
assumes that the tag is IN the frame, and its not, so
the length is actually tiny. Furthermore, I'm not sure
what the point was to just return??

- This adds a VM SRIOV interface, ixv, it is however
transparent to the user, it links with the ixgbe.ko,
but when ixgbe is loaded in a virtualized guest with
SRIOV configured this will be detected.
- Sync shared code to latest
- Many bug fixes and improvements, thanks to everyone
who has been using the driver and reporting issues.
configuration function. For failed memory allocations, em(4)/lem(4)
called panic(9) which is not acceptable on production box.
igb(4)/ixgb(4)/ix(4) allocated the required memory in stack which
consumed 768 bytes of stack memory which looks too big.
To address these issues, allocate multicast array memory in device
attach time and make multicast configuration success under any
conditions. This change also removes the excessive use of memory in
stack.

- add a moderation value to the Link vector
- allow disabling HW RSC on the 82599 if LRO
is not enabled.
- correct error in the stats code
- change optic type on the 82598 DA device
Thanks to Andrew Boyer for the changes.
no flowid is present, this was causing some bad
reordering, now just use 0.
Also, add a few watchdog bits, and tx handler bits
that were corrected in igb.
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 :)
- 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.
- introduce drbr_needs_enqueue that returns whether the interface/br needs
an enqueue operation: returns true if altq is enabled or there are
already packets in the ring (as we need to maintain packet order)
- update all drbr consumers
- fix drbr_flush
- avoid using the driver queue (IFQ_DRV_*) in the altq case as the
multiqueue consumer does not provide enough protection, serialize altq
interaction with the main queue lock
- make drbr_dequeue_cond work with altq

This adds new feature support for the 82599, a hardware
assist to LRO, doing this required a large revamp to the
RX cleanup code because the descriptor ring may not be
processed out of order, this necessitated the elimination
of global pointers.
Additionally, the RX routine now does not refresh mbufs
on every descriptor, rather it will do a range, and then
update the hardware pointer at that time. These are
performance oriented changes.
The TX side now has a cleaner simpler watchdog algorithm
as well, in TX cleanup a read of ticks is stored, that
can then be compared in local_timer to determine if
there is a hang.
Various other cleanups along the way, thanks to all who
have provided input and testing.
and remove from its dependency on LRO, my tests have shown
that its always beneficial, even when doing bridging.
Second, fix up a few problems in the statistics code, the
adapter dependencies had gotten lost so some code that should
only run on 82599 was always running, this resulted in bogus
flow control numbers on 82598.
- When a vlan event occurs a check was not made that
the event was actually for the interface, thus resulting
in a panic. All three drivers have this vulnerability. Add
a check for this condition.
- Secondly, there was a duplicate buf_ring free in the em
driver resulting in a panic on unload. Remove.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

-This version has header split, and as a result a number of
aspects of the code have been improved/simplified.
- Interrupt handling refined for performance
- Many small bugs fixed along the way
MFC after: ASAP - in time for 7.1
-It has new hardware support
-It uses a new method of TX cleanup called Head Write Back
-It includes the provisional generic TCP LRO feature contributed
by Myricom and made general purpose by me. This should move into
the stack upon approval but for this driver drop its in here.
-Also bug fixes and etc...
MFC in a week if no serious issues arise.
The first drop was Beta, this code is expected to be the release version.
Note that this driver code will build in either 6.2 or 7. If you
use the code in 6.2 you will not get TSO or MSI/X support but it will
function in a legacy mode.

- change include style so build in kernel try OR standalone work.

but our testing had odd issues which suggests this is false.
- A fatfinger error in the ioctl code made ifconfig up not work.
