The flowdirector feature shares on-chip memory with other things
such as the RX buffers. In theory it should be configured in a way
that doesn't interfere with the rest of operation. In practice,
the RX buffer calculation didn't take the flow-director allocation
into account and there'd be overlap. This lead to various garbage
frames being received containing what looks like internal NIC state.
What _I_ saw was traffic ending up in the wrong RX queues.
If I was doing a UDP traffic test with only one NIC ring receiving
traffic, everything is fine. If I fired up a second UDP stream
which came in on another ring, there'd be a few percent of traffic
from both rings ending up in the wrong ring. Ie, the RSS hash would
indicate it was supposed to come in ring X, but it'd come in ring Y.
However, when the allocation was fixed up, the developers at Verisign
still saw traffic stalls.
The flowdirector feature ends up fiddling with the NIC to do various
attempts at load balancing connections by populating flow table rules
based on sampled traffic. It's likely that all of that has to be
carefully reviewed and made less "magic".
So for now the flow director feature is disabled (which fixes both
what I was seeing and what they were seeing) until it's all much
more debugged and verified.
Tested:
* (me) 82599EB 2x10G NIC, RSS UDP testing.
* (verisign) not sure on the NIC (but likely 82599), 100k-200k/sec TCP
transaction tests.

many thanks for their continued support of FreeBSD.
While I'm there, also implement a new build knob, WITHOUT_HYPERV to
disable building and installing of the HyperV utilities when necessary.
The HyperV utilities are only built for i386 and amd64 targets.
This is a stable/10 candidate for inclusion with 10.1-RELEASE.

PCI IDs into quirks, which mostly fit (though you'd get no argument
from me that AHCI_Q_SATA1_UNIT0 is oddly specific). Set these quirks
in the PCI attachment. Make some shared functions public so that PCI
and possibly other bus attachments can use them.
The split isn't perfect yet, but it is functional. The split will be
perfected as other bus attachments for AHCI are written.

- It was decided to change the driver name to if_ixl for FreeBSD
- This release adds the VF Driver to the tree, it can be built into
the kernel or as the if_ixlv module
- The VF driver is independent for the first time, this will be
desireable when full SRIOV capability is added to the OS.
- Thanks to my new coworker Eric Joyner for his superb work in
both the core and vf driver code.
Enjoy everyone!

We haven't noticed that it was missing because eisa has been disabled for
a while in -current, but it became apparent when some parallel-build stuff
was MFC'd to 10-stable and this module failed to build there.
UNIX systems, eg. MacOS X and Solaris. It uses Sun-compatible map format,
has proper kernel support, and LDAP integration.
There are still a few outstanding problems; they will be fixed shortly.

options into kern.opts.mk and change all the places where we use
src.opts.mk to pull in the options. Conditionally define SYSDIR and
use SYSDIR/conf/kern.opts.mk instead of a CURDIR path. Replace all
instances of CURDIR/../../etc with STSDIR, but only in the affected
files.
As a special compatibility hack, include bsd.owm.mk at the top of
kern.opts.mk to allow the bare build of sys/modules to work on older
systems. If the defaults ever change between 9.x, 10.x and current for
these options, however, you'll wind up with the host OS' defaults
rather than the -current defaults. This hack will be removed when
we no longer need to support this build scenario.

This allows to clone VMs and move them between LUNs inside one storage
host without generating extra network traffic to the initiator and back,
and without being limited by network bandwidth.
LUNs participating in copy operation should have UNIQUE NAA or EUI IDs set.
For LUNs without these IDs VMWare will use traditional copy operations.
Beware: the above LUN IDs explicitly set to values non-unique from the VM
cluster point of view may cause data corruption if wrong LUN is addressed!

This partitioning scheme is used in DragonFlyBSD. It is similar to
BSD disklabel, but has the following improvements:
* metadata has own dedicated place and isn't accessible through partitions;
* all offsets are 64-bit;
* supports 16 partitions by default (has reserved place for more);
* has reserved place for backup label (but not yet implemented);
* has UUIDs for partitions and partition types;

using a direct hook called from kern_vfs_bio_buffer_alloc().
Mark ffs_rawread.c as requiring both ffs and directio options to be
compiled into the kernel. Add ffs_rawread.c to the list of ufs.ko
module' sources.
In addition to stopping breaking the layering violation, it also
allows to link kernel when FFS is configured as module and DIRECTIO is
enabled.
One consequence of the change is that ffs_rawread.o is always linked
into the module regardless of the DIRECTIO option. This is similar to
the option QUOTA and ufs_quota.c.
