if_xname, if_dname, and if_dunit. if_xname is the name of the interface
and if_dname/unit are the driver name and instance.
This change paves the way for interface renaming and enhanced pseudo
device creation and configuration symantics.

256 raw receive buffers (96 byte each) fit into one page. This breaks the
limit imposed by the usage of an uint8_t for the buffer number. Restrict
the allocation size for buffers to a maximum of 8192.
are now in the header of the external buffer itself which allows us
to manipulate them in the free routine without having to lock the softc
structure or the free list. To get space for these flags the chunk number
is reduced to 8 bit which amounts to a maximum of 256 chunks per allocated
page. This restriction is now enforced by a CTASSERT.
very first cell in the mbuf should have a cell header word (of which
everything except the payload type and the CLP bit is ignored). All
other cells should be 48 byte and get the same header as the first cell.
This fixes a problem with sending more than 120000 raw cells/sec through
an HE155. The card seems to need 2 cell times to DMA the transmit buffer
ready queue entry and the transmit buffer descriptor so at 1/3 the
link rate the transmit buffer ready queue starts to fill up. Even with this
patch it's obviously impossible to send raw cells at link rate.
Correct a bug when the number of pages for external mbufs was
very large. In this case the page number could overflow into the large
buffer flag. Make this more unlikley by move that flag further away.
is returned from the card to the driver. Add a counter that shows
how many times this allocation has failed. Note, that we could even
further delay the allocation of the mbuf until we know, that we need it
(there are no receive errors and the connection is open). This will be done
in a later commit.
Print the new statistics field in atmconfig.

whether an external mbuf travels through the system. This is

This fixes a panic under conditions when many mbufs are needed.
Update the head pointer of the receive buffer pool queue even when
we could not supply a buffer to the chip. Otherwise the chip will
not re-interrupt us for another try. A better strategy would probably
be to remember this condition and to supply buffers without an interrupt
as soon as buffers get available.
