32341ad63c Add a 'locked' variant of the foo_start() routine and call it directly
from interrupt handlers and watchdog routines instead of queueing a task
to call foo_start().

52a1393e4c Add basic WOL support for MCP ethernet controllers. It seems the
controller does not perform automatic switching from 1000Mbps link
to 10/100Mbps link when WOL is activated. Implement establishing
10/100Mps link with auto-negotiation in driver. Link status change
handler was modified to remove taskqueue based approach since driver
now needs synchronous handling for link establishment.

17d022beb2 Add hardware MAC statistics support. Register information was
obtained from Linux forcedeth driver.
While I'm here move creating a sysctl node for process_limit to
function nfe_sysctl_node().

3a5d5a69ce Nuke local jumbo allocator and switch to use of UMA backed page
allocator for jumbo frame. Also remove unneeded jlist lock which
is no longer required to protect jumbo buffers.
With these changes jumbo frame performance of nfe(4) was slightly
increased and users should not encounter jumbo buffer allocation
failure anymore.

8b590ad2d1 Don't fail on device attach if jumbo frame support was unsuccessful.
Because nfe(4) hardware doesn't support SG on Rx path, supporting
jumbo frame requires very large contiguous kernel memory(i.e. several
mega bytes). In case of lack of contiguous kernel memory that
allocation request may always fail. However nfe(4) can operate on normal
sized MTU frames, so go ahead and just disable jumbo frame support.
While I'm here add a new tunable "hw.nfe.jumbo_disable" to disable
jumbo frame support.
In nfe_poll, make sure to invoke correct Rx handler.

aab5582f0a Bring overhauled nfe(4) into tree.
o s/printf/device_printf/g
o Nuke OpenBSDism.
o Nuke NetBSD/OpenBSD specific DMA sync operations.(we don't have a way
   to sync a single descriptor within a DMA map.)
o Remove recursive mutex.
o bus_dma(9) clean up.
o 40bit DMA address support.
o Add protection for Rx map load failure.
o Fix a long standing bug for watchdog timeout. [1]
o Add additional protections, missing Tx completion interrupt, losing
   start Tx command, for watchdog timeout.
o Switch to taskqueue(9) API to handle interrupts.
o Use our own timer for watchdog instead of if_watchdog/if_timer
   interface.
o Advertise VLAN header length/capability correctly to upper layer.
o Remove excessive kernel stack consumption in nfe_encap().
o Handle highly fragmented mbuf chains correctly.
o Enable etherenet address reprogramming with ifconfig(8).
o Add ALTQ/TSO, MSI/MSIX support.
o Increased Rx ring to 256 descriptors from 128.
o Align Tx/Rx descriptor ring on sizeof(struct nfe_desc64) boundary.
o Remove alignment restrictions on Tx/Rx buffers.
o Rewritten jumbo frame support code.
o Add support for hardware assistend VLAN tag insertion/stripping.
o Add support for Tx/Rx flow control based on patches from Peer Chen. [2]
o Add a routine that detects whether ethernet address swap routines is
   required. [3]
o Add a workaround that take MAC/PHY out of power down mode.
o Add suspend/resume support.
o style(9) and code clean up.

Special thanks to Shigeaki Tagashira, the original porter of nfe(4),
who submitted lots of patches, performed uncountable number of
regression tests and maintained nfe(4) for a long time. Without his
enthusiastic help and support I could never have completed this
overhauling task.

The only weak point of nfe(4) compared to nve(4) is instability of
manual half-duplex media selection on certain hardwares(auto sensing
media type should work for all cases, though). This was a long
standing bug of nfe(4) and I still have no idea why it doesn't work
on some hardwares.

bfc788c283 Add a pure open source nForce Ethernet driver, under BSDL.
This driver was ported from OpenBSD by Shigeaki Tagashira
<shigeaki@se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp> and posted at
http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html
It was additionally cleaned up by me.
It is still a work-in-progress and thus is purposefully not in GENERIC.
And it conflicts with nve(4), so only one should be loaded.

257c55772d Import the nfe (nForce Ethernet) driver from OpenBSD.
This is a pure open source NIC driver with a BSD license.
These bits were taken from the OpenBSD public CVS repository on 1-May-06.
