0fa7f68197 - Updated to the latest myri10ge firmware
- Added support for multicast filtering, now that the firmware
  supports it.  Note that this is not yet tested, as multicast
  seems to panic -current (even w/o mxge loaded)
- Added workaround to cope with different irq data struct size on
  pre-multicast firmware which can found running on nics.
- Added Intel E5000 PCIe chipsets to list providing aligned completions.
- Replaced various magic constants with #defines, now that they are
  defined in the firmware headers.

5e7d85418b Update the mxge driver.
- Update the firmware to the latest released firmware
  (1.4.3), which corresponds to the firmware in the
  latest shipping drivers from Myricom.  This firmware
  fixes several bugs in the firmware's PCI-e implementation,
  and it also changes the driver/firmware interface:

  o TSO was added, and changed the format of the transmit
    descriptors.
  o The firmware no longer counts transmits descriptors,
    but frames.  So the driver needs to keep a count
    of the number of frames sent.
  o The weird interrupt strategy changed to a normal receive
    return ring.  This ring is much bigger, and we may be
    able to support DEVICE_POLLING.
  o Myricom's header files changed the name of firmware
    related #define's and enums (s/_MCP_/FW_).

- Stopped spamming the console with lots of printfs unless
  mxge_verbose (or bootverbose) is set.

- Made additional information available via sysctl, including
  the results of a PCI-e DMA benchmark run at device reset.

- Decreased the excessively long timeouts when sending commands
  from 2 seconds to 20ms.

6d87a65da4 - Complete the myri10ge -> mxge name change by doing a mechanical
s/myri10ge/mxge/g replacement in the myri10ge files.  A few contuation
  lines were joined because of the regained columns.
- Hook the mxge driver back to the build.

b2fc195e1b 10GbE mode driver and binary firmware for Myricom's PCI-express NICs.
More info regarding these nics can be found at http://www.myri.com.

Please note that the files
sys/dev/myri10ge/{mcp_gen_header.h,myri10ge_mcp.h} are internally
shared between all our drivers (solaris, macosx, windows, linux, etc).
I'd like to keep these files unchanged, so I can just import newer
versions of them when the firmware API/ABI changes.  This means I'm
stuck with some of the crazy-long #define names, and possibly
non-style(9) characteristics of these files.

Many thanks to mlaier for doing firmware(9) just as I
needed it, and to scottl for his helpful review.
