- feature: add glue for 'indirect' buffers on the sender side:
if a slot has NS_INDIRECT set, the netmap buffer contains pointer(s)
to the actual userspace buffers, which are accessed with copyin().
The feature is not finalised yet, as it will likely need to deal
with some iovec variant for proper scatter/gather support.
This will save one copy for clients (e.g. qemu) that cannot
use the netmap buffer directly.
A curiosity: on amd64 copyin() appears to be 10-15% faster than pkt_copy()
or bcopy() at least for sizes of 256 and greater.
the RX antenna field.
The AR9285/AR9485 use an LNA mixer to determine how to combine the signals
from the two antennas. This is encoded in the RSSI fields (ctl/ext) for
chain 2. So, let's use that here.
This maps RX antennas 0->3 to the RX mixer configuration used to
receive a frame. There's more that can be done but this is good enough
to diagnose if the hardware is doing "odd" things like trying to
receive frames on LNA2 (ie, antenna 2 or "alt" antenna) when there's
only one antenna connected.
Tested:
* AR9285, STA mode
for the RX path.
This is different to the div comb HAL flag, that says it actually
can use this for RX diversity (the "slow" diversity path implemented
but disabled in the AR9285 HAL code.)
Tested:
* AR9285, STA operation

Fix uninitialized memory reference in mps_read_config_page. It was
referencing a field (params->hdr.Ext.ExtPageType) that would only be
set when reading an Extended config page. The symptom was that
MPSIO_READ_CFG_PAGE ioctls would randomly fail with
MPI2_IOCSTATUS_CONFIG_INVALID_PAGE errors. The solution is to
determine whether an extended or an ordinary config page is requested
by looking at the PageType field, which should be available regardless.
Similarly, mps_user_read_extcfg_header and mps_user_read_extcfg_page,
which call mps_read_config_page, had to be fixed to always set the
PageType field. They were implicitly assuming that
mps_read_config_page always operated on Extended pages.

* Grab the reset lock first, so any subsequent interrupt, TX, RX work
will fail
* Then shut down interrupts
* Then wait for TX/RX to finish running
At this point no further work will be running, so it's safe to do the
reset path code.

The main problem here is that fast and driver RX diversity isn't actually
configured; I need to figure out why that is. That said, this makes
the single-antenna connected AR9285 and AR2427 (AR9285 w/ no 11n) work
correctly.

which can only happen in case of a severe programming error. Moreover,
recovering from that situation would require way more actions with header

- the VALE switch now support up to 254 destinations per switch,
unicast or broadcast (multicast goes to all ports).
- we can attach hw interfaces and the host stack to a VALE switch,
which means we will be able to use it more or less as a native bridge
(minor tweaks still necessary).
A 'vale-ctl' program is supplied in tools/tools/netmap
to attach/detach ports the switch, and list current configuration.
- the lookup function in the VALE switch can be reassigned to
something else, similar to the pf hooks. This will enable
attaching the firewall, or other processing functions (e.g. in-kernel
openvswitch) directly on the netmap port.
The internal API used by device drivers does not change.
Userspace applications should be recompiled because we
bump NETMAP_API as we now use some fields in the struct nmreq
