Remove pci_enable_io calls where they are redundant. The PCI bus driver
will set the right bits when the corresponding bus resource is activated.
Remove redundant pci_* function calls from suspend/resume methods. The
bus driver already saves and restores the PCI configuration.

compatibility, resulting in the VMware virtual machine to crash if
enabled. Add a comment regarding usage of ILACC vs. PCnet-PCI mode.

still should return BUS_PROBE_LOW_PRIORITY instead of BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT
in order to give pcn(4) a chance to attach in case it probes after le(4).
- Rearrange the code related to RX interrupt handling so that ownership of
RX descriptors is immediately returned to the NIC after we have copied
the data of the hardware, allowing the NIC to already reuse the descriptor
while we are processing the data in ifp->if_input(). This results in a
small but measurable increase in RX throughput.
As a side-effect, this moves the workaround for the LANCE revision C bug
to am7900.c (still off by default as I doubt we will actually encounter
such an old chip in a machine running FreeBSD) and the workaround for the
bug in the VMware PCnet-PCI emulation to am79000.c, which is now also
only compiled on i386 (resulting in a small increase in RX throughput on
the other platforms).
- Change the RX interrupt handlers so that the descriptor error bits are
only check once in case there was no error instead of twice (inspired
by the NetBSD pcn(4), which additionally predicts the error branch as
false).
- Fix the debugging output of the RX and TX interrupt handlers; while
looping through the descriptors print info about the currently processed
one instead of always the previously last used one; remove pointless
printing of info about the RX descriptor bits after their values were
reset.
- Create the DMA tags used to allocate the memory for the init block,
descriptors and packet buffers with the alignment the respective NIC
actually requires rather than using PAGE_SIZE unconditionally. This might
as well fix the alignment of the memory as it seems we do not inherit
the alignment constraint from the parent DMA tag.
- For the PCI variants double the number of RX descriptors and buffers
from 8 to 16 as this minimizes the number of RX overflows im seeing with
one NIC-mainboard combination. Nevertheless move reporting of overflows
under debugging as they seem unavoidable with some crappy hardware.
- Set the software style of the PCI variants to ILACC rather than PCnet-PCI
as the former is was am79000.c actually implements. Should not make a
difference for this driver though.
- Fix the driver name part in the MODULE_DEPEND of the PCI front-end for
ether.
- Use different device descriptions for PCnet-Home and PCnet-PCI.
- Fix some 0/NULL confusion in lance_get().
- Use bus_addr_t for sc_addr and bus_size_t for sc_memsize as these are
more appropriate than u_long for these.
- Remove the unused LE_DRIVER_NAME macro.
- Add a comment describing why we are taking the LE_HTOLE* etc approach
instead of using byteorder(9) functions directly.
- Improve some comments and fix some wording.

from NetBSD. This driver actually can replace lnc(4). Advantages over
lnc(4) are:
- Cleaner and more flexible regarding MD needs.
- Endian-clean and MPSAFE.
- Supports ALTQ, VLAN_MTU, ifmedia.
- Uses 32bit DMA for the PCI variants.
This commit includes front-ends for the dma(4) pseudo-bus found on SBus-
based sparc64 machines (thus supports the on-board LANCE in Sun Ultra 1)
and PCI. In order to actually replace lnc(4), the front-ends for ISA and
the PC98 CBUS would have to be added but for which I don't have hardware
to test.
