at91.c & at91sam9.c:
* Eliminate separate at91sam9.c file.
* Add new devices to at91sam9_devs table.
at91_machdep.c & at at91sam9_machdep.c:
* Automatic chip type determination.
* Remove compile time chip dependencies.
* Eliminate separate at91sam9_machdep.c file.
at91_pmc.c:
* Corrected support for all of the sam926? and sam9g20 chips.
* Remove compile time chip dependencies.
My apologies to Greg for taking so long to take care of it.
queue length. The default value for this parameter is 50, which is
quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

- Reorder detach so that ether_ifdetach() is called first. This removes
the race that ATE_FLAG_DETACHING closed, so that flag can be removed.
- Trim a duplicate clearing of IFF_DRV_RUNNING.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

- Use memory barriers to preserve the order of buffer space operations.
This might be needed if we'll ever use this driver on architectures
where ordering is not guaranteed.

- Use random MAC address if none configured instead of failing.

I remember a discussion about this on -arm, but apparently nothing was done.
Warner, is this wrong ?
X-MFC After: proper review
o Fix the packet statistics
o Make sure we set the FD bit when in full duplex
o Improve TX side efficency by eliminating a data copy for
unfragmented mbufs (the hardware can't do s/g).
o Minor busdma pedantry
o better comments in some places, more XXX in others
o Minor style nits.
This solves a problem I was seeing where I'd get no ethernet when not
booting with a NFS root. Well, unless I unplugged the cable and
plugged it back in first so I'd get the same up down up messages I get
for NFS root...
Thanks to sam and scottl for suggestions on making this driver more
efficient through better use of approrpiate APIs.
The boot loader is supposed to leave this bit set to the right value
for the board. If this bit was set at attach time, use it to init the
config register correctly.
Note: this means the boot loader has to properly initialize it.
Add a new option, SKYEYE_WORKAROUNDS, which as the name suggests adds
workarounds for things skyeye doesn't simulate. Specifically :
- Use USART0 instead of DBGU as the console, make it not use DMA, and manually provoke an interrupt when we're done in the transmit function.
- Skyeye maintains an internal counter for clock, but apparently there's
no way to access it, so hack the timecounter code to return a value which
is increased at every clock interrupts. This is gross, but I didn't find a
better way to implement timecounters without hacking Skyeye to get the
counter value.
- Force the write-back of PTEs once we're done writing them, even if they
are supposed to be write-through. I don't know why I have to do that.
o update TODO list
o Better use of busdma
o mark RX dtors as COHERENT. This helps performance a lot by not requiring
so many EXPENSIVE cache flushes. The cost of accessing it non-cached
is much smaller.
o Copy data from Rx buffers to make IP header 4 byte aligned.
o CRC length included in reported length, so cope
o Don't free TX buffer twice
o Manage TX buffers better.
o Enable just the interrupts we want.
o Manage OACTIVE better
