are not allocated by the device driver. These resources should still appear
allocated from the system's perspective so that their assigned ranges are
not reused by other resource requests. The PCI bus driver has used a hack
to effect this for a while now where it uses rman_set_device() to assign
devices to the PCI bus when they are first encountered and later assigns
them to the actual device when a driver allocates a BAR. A few downsides of
this approach is that it results in somewhat confusing devinfo -r output as
well as not being very easily portable to other bus drivers.
This commit adds generic support for "reserved" resources to the resource
list API used by many bus drivers to manage the resources of child devices.
A resource may be reserved via resource_list_reserve(). This will allocate
the resource from the bus' parent without activating it.
resource_list_alloc() recognizes an attempt to allocate a reserved resource.
When this happens it activates the resource (if requested) and then returns
the reserved resource. Similarly, when a reserved resource is released via
resource_list_release(), it is deactivated (if it is active) and the
resource is then marked reserved again, but is left allocated from the
bus' parent. To completely remove a reserved resource, a bus driver may
use resource_list_unreserve(). A bus driver may use resource_list_busy()
to determine if a reserved resource is allocated by a child device or if
it can be unreserved.
The PCI bus driver has been changed to use this framework instead of
abusing rman_set_device() to keep track of reserved vs allocated resources.

drivers. These add new hardware support, most importantly
the pch (i5 chipset) in the em driver. Also, both drivers
now have the simplified (and I hope improved) watchdog
code. The igb driver uses the new RX cleanup that I
first implemented in ixgbe.
em - version 6.9.24
igb - version 1.8.4
This adds new feature support for the 82599, a hardware
assist to LRO, doing this required a large revamp to the
RX cleanup code because the descriptor ring may not be
processed out of order, this necessitated the elimination
of global pointers.
Additionally, the RX routine now does not refresh mbufs
on every descriptor, rather it will do a range, and then
update the hardware pointer at that time. These are
performance oriented changes.
The TX side now has a cleaner simpler watchdog algorithm
as well, in TX cleanup a read of ticks is stored, that
can then be compared in local_timer to determine if
there is a hang.
Various other cleanups along the way, thanks to all who
have provided input and testing.

handler in brgphy(4) does not exist and brgphy(4) just resets the
PHY and returns EINVAL as it has no isolation handler. I also agree
on Marius's opinion that stop handler of every NIC driver seems to
be the wrong place for implementing PHY isolate/power down.
If we need PHY isolate/power down it should be implemented in
brgphy(4) and users should administratively down the PHY.

Introduce ATA_CAM kernel option, turning ata(4) controller drivers into
cam(4) interface modules. When enabled, this options deprecates all ata(4)
peripheral drivers (ad, acd, ...) and interfaces and allows cam(4) drivers
(ada, cd, ...) and interfaces to be natively used instead.
As side effect of this, ata(4) mode setting code was completely rewritten
to make controller API more strict and permit above change. While doing
this, SATA revision was separated from PATA mode. It allows DMA-incapable
SATA devices to operate and makes hw.ata.atapi_dma tunable work again.
Also allow ata(4) controller drivers (except some specific or broken ones)
to handle larger data transfers. Previous constraint of 64K was artificial

single outstanding DMA read operation. Most controllers targeted to
client with PCIe bus interface(e.g. BCM5761) may have this
limitation. All controllers for servers does not have this
limitation.
Collapsing mbuf chains to reduce number of memory reads before
transmitting was most effective way to workaround this. I got about
940Mbps from 850Mbps with mbuf collapsing on BCM5761. However it
takes a lot of CPU cycles to collapse mbuf chains so add tunable to
control the number of allowed TX buffers before collapsing. The
default value is 0 which effectively disables the forced collapsing.
For most cases 2 would yield best performance(about 930Mbps)
without much sacrificing CPU cycles.
Note the collapsing is only activated when the controller is on
PCIe bus and the frame does not need TSO operation. TSO does not
seem to suffer from the hardware limitation because the payload
size is much bigger than normal IP datagram.
Thanks to davidch@ who told me the limitation of client controllers
and actually gave possible workarounds to mitigate the limitation.

WDRT seems to be not very popular.
Besides, generic WDRT porbably requires a slightly different driver
