sysctl and counters for message ring threads (intial version). Update
watermark values, and and decrease the maximum threads to 3 (this will leave
a few CPUs for other processes)
Minor comment fix in nlge.
- Wakeup multiple threads per core using message ring watermark interrupts.
- Update message ring handler registration, use the real device station id
for registering interrupts.
- rge/nlge: update for the new message ring registration code.
- rge/nlge: use 2 message ring stations for incoming packets, this will
allow more messages to be queued.
- nlge: comment fixes, remove unused variable
- style and whitespace fixes
- Process some tx done messages in the transmit path, to ensure that
the XLR NA tx done FIFO does not overflow.
- Add a message ring handler API to process atmost a given number of
messages from a specified bucket mask. This will be used to process
the tx done messages
- Add a callout to restart transmit in the case transmit gets blocked.
- Update enable_msgring_int() and disable_msgring_int(), remove unused
args and make static.

Fix message ring send path:
- define msgrng_access_enable() which disables local interrupts
and enables message ring access. Also define msgrng_restore() which
restores interrupts
- remove all other msgrng enable/disable macros, no need of critical_enter
and other locking here.
- message_send() fixup: re-read status until pending bit clears
- message_send_retry() fixup: retry only few times with interrupts disabled
- Fix up message_send/message_send_retry callers - call
msgrng_access_enable() and msgrng_restore() correctly so that interrupts
are not disabled for long.
- removed unused and obsolete code from sys/mips/rmi/msgring.h
- some style fixes - more later
rge.c (XLR GMAC driver):
- updated for the message ring changes
- remove unused message_send_block()
- retry on credit failure, this is not a permanent failure when credits
are configured correctly. Add panic if credits are not available to
send for a long time.
- style(9) fixes to mips/rmi platform files
- update pic.h to add pic_setup_intr() and use pic_setup_intr() for setting
up interrupts which are routed thru PIC.
- remove rmi_spin_mutex_safe and haslock, and make sure that the functions
are called only after mutexes are available.
