ioctl to put interface down sets ifp->if_flags which holds the intended
administratively defined state and calls driver callback to apply it.
When everything is done, driver updates internal copy of
interface flags sc->if_flags which holds the operational state.
So, transmit from Rx path is possible when interface is intended to be
administratively down in accordance with ifp->if_flags, but not applied
yet and the operational state is up in accordance with sc->if_flags.

Transmit may be called when TxQ is not started yet (i.e. txq->common is
invalid). TxQ state is checked below when mbuf is processed and dropped
if TxQ is not started.

It makes sfxge_tso_state smaller and even makes tso_start_new_packet()
few bytes smaller. Data used to calculate packet size are used nearby,
so it should be no problems with cache etc.

Add separate software Tx queue limit for non-TCP traffic to make total
limit higher and avoid local drops of TCP packets because of no
backpressure.
There is no point to make non-TCP limit high since without backpressure
UDP stream easily overflows any sensible limit.
Split early drops statistics since it is better to have separate counter
for each drop reason to make it unabmiguous.
Add software Tx queue high watermark. The information is very useful to
understand how big queues grow under traffic load.

from the FreeBSD network code. The flag is still kept around in the
"sys/mbuf.h" header file, but does no longer have any users. Instead
the "m_pkthdr.rsstype" field in the mbuf structure is now used to
decide the meaning of the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. To modify the
"m_pkthdr.rsstype" field please use the existing "M_HASHTYPE_XXX"
macros as defined in the "sys/mbuf.h" header file.
This patch introduces new behaviour in the transmit direction.
Previously network drivers checked if "M_FLOWID" was set in "m_flags"
before using the "m_pkthdr.flowid" field. This check has now now been
replaced by checking if "M_HASHTYPE_GET(m)" is different from
"M_HASHTYPE_NONE". In the future more hashtypes will be added, for
example hashtypes for hardware dedicated flows.
"M_HASHTYPE_OPAQUE" indicates that the "m_pkthdr.flowid" value is
valid and has no particular type. This change removes the need for an
"if" statement in TCP transmit code checking for the presence of a
valid flowid value. The "if" statement mentioned above is now a direct
variable assignment which is then later checked by the respective
network drivers like before.
Additional notes:
- The SCTP code changes will be committed as a separate patch.
- Removal of the "M_FLOWID" flag will also be done separately.
- The FreeBSD version has been bumped.

Also increase default for Tx queue get-list limit.
Too small limit results in TCP packets drops especiall when many
streams are running simultaneously.
Put list may be kept small enough since it is just a temporary
location if transmit function can't get Tx queue lock.

this set of patches fixes support for systems with > 32 cores.
Details include
sfxge: RXQ index (not label) comes from FW in flush done/failed events
Change the second argument name of the efx_rxq_flush_done_ev_t and
efx_rxq_flush_failed_ev_t prototypes to highlight that RXQ index (not label)
comes from FW in flush done and failed events.
sfxge: TXQ index (not label) comes from FW in flush done event
Change the second argument name of the efx_txq_flush_done_ev_t prototype to
highlight that TXQ index (not label) comes from FW in flush done event.
sfxge: use TXQ type as label to support more than 32 TXQs
There are 3 TXQs in event queue 0 and 1 TXQ (with TCP/UDP checksum offload)
in all other event queues.

be acquired), but get queue may grow unboundedly which results in mbuf
