series, the 8139C+ has a descriptor-based DMA mechanism, and its
performance is actually pretty respectable. Note: the 8139D chip does
not support C+ mode. Only the 8139C+ and 8169 gigE chips support C+ mode.
Supported features:
- RX and TX checksum offload
- hardware VLAN tag insertion/extraction
- TX interrupt moderation using the 8139's on-board timer
Everything should be properly busdma'ed and endian-independent, so
things should work ok on non-x86 platforms. Unfortunately, my call
for testers on this code was met with deafening silence, and I don't
have access to any non-x86 FreeBSD boxes at the moment, so this is
speculation.
The device detection code has been cleaned up a little as well
(thanks to Michal Mertl) for the patches.
There are also updates to the rl(4) man page (which I accidentally
checked in before when I updated the dc(4) man page. Oops.)
Todo: finish support for the 8169 gigabit ethernet chip. This
mainly requires writing an rlgphy driver to handle the 8169's built-in
PHY. This will have to wait until I actually get my hands on an 8169
card for testing though. (I still can't find a source for one in the
U.S. Suggestions/pointers welcome.)

register, present only on 3c90xB and later NICs. This meant that you could
not use a 1500 byte MTU with VLANs on original 3c905/3c900 cards (boomerang
chipset). The boomerang chip does support large frames though, just not
in the same way: you can set the 'allow large frames' bit in the MAC
control register to receive frames up to 4K in size.
Changes:
- Set the 'allow large frames' bit for boomerang chips and increase
the packet size register for cyclone and later chips. This allows
us to use IFCAP_VLAN_MTU on all supported xl(4) NICs.
- Actually set the IFCAP_VLAN_MTU flag in the capabilities word
in xl_attach().
- Change the method used to detect older boomerang chips. My 3c575C
cardbus NIC was being incorrectly identified as 3c90x chip instead
of 3c90xB because the capabilities word in its EEPROM reports
a bizzare value. In addition to checking for the supportsNoTxLength
bit, also check for the absence of the supportsLargePackets bit.
Both of these cases denote a 3c90xB chip.
- Make RX and TX checksums configurable via the SIOCSIFCAP ioctl.
- Avoid an unecessary le32toh() in xl_rxeof(): we already have the
received frame size in the lower 16 bits of rxstat, no need to
read it again.
Tested with 3c905-TX, 3c900-TPO, 3c980C and 3c575C NICs.

forced to do slightly bogus power state manipulation. However, this
is one of those features that is preventing further progress, so mark
them as BURN_BIRDGES like I did for the drivers in sys/dev/...
This, like the other change, are a no-op unless you have BURN_BRIDGES
in your kernel.
Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

mapped I/O mode, we pause for .1 seconds after issuing the reset command
before trying to poll the 'command busy' bit in the status register.
With my 3c575C cardbus NIC, my Sony Picturebook locks up when it tries
to read the status register immediately after the reset. This appears
to be a problem only with certain NICs on certain hardware, but the
added delay should not hurt cards that already work.
This bug seems to have been brought to light by the fact that the xl
driver now defaults to memory mapped I/O mode instead of programmed
I/O mode like it used to. With PIO mode, the delay isn't needed and
everything works (which is why this NIC worked with 5.0-RELEASE but
not 5.1). I suspect that what's happening is that when the chip is
reset, it takes a little while for the memory-mapped decoding logic
to recover. Trying to access the chip's registers during this period
causes an error condition of some kind that wedges the system.
Devices below may experience a change in geometry.
* Due to a bug, aic(4) never used extended geometry. Changes all drives

* sbp(4) drives exactly 1 GB in size now no longer use extended geometry.
* umass(4) drives exactly 1 GB in size now no longer use extended geometry.
For all other controllers in this commit, this should be a no-op.

we ever want to detect that kind of problems, this is not the right
place to do this since every network driver would be affected by
such desynchronisation.

which should obviously be:

Looks like this bug may have reduced the effectiveness of the
workaround for the hardware bug in the PNIC chips.

To figure out how many bits a specific host bridge supports, write the
maximum width and see how many bits are set in the hardware. We then
use this mask for setting and getting the aperture size. Prior to this,
the agp(4) driver would treat an aperture size of 256 MB as 128 MB and
would not allocate enough physical memory for the GART as a result.

following changes have been done:
- stylify. The original code was too hard to read.
- get rid of a number of compilation options (Adaptec-only, Eni-only, no-DMA).
- more debugging features.

but is correct enough to not to cause lock order reversals.
- remove RAW mode. There are no users of this in the tree and I doubt that
