This change set supports all hardware features except IOV and

Extend the Xen blkif API: Negotiable request size and number of
requests.
This change extends the information recorded in the XenStore
allowing block front/back devices to negotiate for optimal I/O
parameters. This has been achieved without sacrificing backward
compatibility with drivers that are unaware of these protocol
enhancements. The extensions center around the connection protocol
which now includes these additions:
o The back-end device publishes its maximum supported values for,
request I/O size, the number of page segments that can be
associated with a request, the maximum number of requests that
can be concurrently active, and the maximum number of pages that
can be in the shared request ring. These values are published
before the back-end enters the XenbusStateInitWait state.
o The front-end waits for the back-end to enter either the InitWait
or Initialize state. At this point, the front end limits it's
own capabilities to the lesser of the values it finds published
by the backend, it's own maximums, or, should any back-end data
be missing in the store, the values supported by the original
protocol. It then initializes it's internal data structures
including allocation of the shared ring, publishes its maximum
capabilities to the XenStore and transitions to the Initialized
state.
o The back-end waits for the front-end to enter the Initalized
state. At this point, the back end limits it's own capabilities
to the lesser of the values it finds published by the frontend,
it's own maximums, or, should any front-end data be missing in
the store, the values supported by the original protocol. It
then initializes it's internal data structures, attaches to the
shared ring and transitions to the Connected state.
o The front-end waits for the back-end to enter the Connnected
state, transitions itself to the connected state, and can
commence I/O.
Although an updated front-end driver must be aware of the back-end's
InitWait state, the back-end has been coded such that it can
tolerate a front-end that skips this step and transitions directly
to the Initialized state without waiting for the back-end.
sys/xen/interface/io/blkif.h:

o Add two new constants:
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_HEADER_BLOCK, and
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_SEGMENT_BLOCK. These respectively
indicate the number of segments that can fit in the first
ring-buffer entry of a request, and for each subsequent
(sg element only) ring-buffer entry associated with the
"header" ring-buffer entry of the request.
o Add the blkif_request_segment_t typedef for segment
elements.
o Add the BLKRING_GET_SG_REQUEST() macro which wraps the
RING_GET_REQUEST() macro and returns a properly cast
pointer to an array of blkif_request_segment_ts.
o Add the BLKIF_SEGS_TO_BLOCKS() macro which calculates the

request with the given number of segments.

o Dynamically allocate request pools and segemnts-per-request.
o Update ring allocation/attachment code to support a

the update to multiple XenStore nodes must be atomic.
That is not the case here.
o Fully disable blkif_resume() until it can be fixed

While here, reduce the duration the gnttab_list_lock is held during

can be performed without holding the lock.

of mii_attach() are:
- intended to be called multiple times in order to attach PHYs in multiple
passes (f.e. in order to only use sub-ranges of the 0 to MII_NPHY - 1
range)
- being able to pass along the capability mask from the NIC to the PHY
drivers
- being able to specify at which address (phyloc) to probe for a PHY
(instead of always probing at all addresses from 0 to MII_NPHY - 1)
- being able to specify which PHY instance (offloc) to attach

bge(4) didn't follow that and it used to enable auto polling to
workaround it. Restore this old behavior for BCM5700 family
controllers and BCM5705 to use auto polling. For BCM5700 and
BCM5701, it seems it does not need to enable auto polling but I
restored it for safety.
Special thanks to marius who tried lots of patches with patience.

- correct the ethernet payload remainder which
must be post-offseted by -14 bytes instead of
0 bytes. This is not very clearly defined in the
NCM specification.
- add development feature about limiting the
maximum datagram count in each NCM payload.
- zero-pad alignment data
- add TX-interval tuning sysctl

Link UP state could be reported first before actual completion of
auto-negotiation. This change makes bge(4) reprogram BGE_MAC_MODE,
BGE_TX_MODE and BGE_RX_MODE register only after controller got a
valid link.
