before setting the flag, interrupt was already enabled such that
interrupt handler could be run before setting IFF_DRV_RUNNING flag.
This can lose initial link state change interrupt which in turn
make bge(4) think that it still does not have valid link. Fix this
race by protecting the taskqueue with a driver lock.
While I'm here move reenabling interrupt code after handling of link

versions of controller support different number of ring control
blocks such that adjust code a bit to access known number of
send/receive ring control blocks. Previously bge(4) blindly
accessed 16 send/receive RCBs. Also move initializing standard
receive producer ring producer index, jumbo receive producer ring
producer index and mini receive producer ring producer index to
the end of each receive producer ring initialization.
Do not assume mini receive producer ring is available only when
controller has jumbo frame capability, instead explicitly check
ASIC version BCM5700 to disable mini receive producer ring.
Additionally always enable send ring 0 regardless of controller
versions. Previously bge(4) didn't enable send ring 0 if controller
is BGE_IS_5705_PLUS. Becase bge(4) need 1 send ring to send frames
at least, I have no idea how it would have worked so far.

BGE_MI_MODE register accesses. Previously bge(4) used to read
BGE_MI_MODE register to detect whether it needs to disable
autopolling feature or not. Because we don't touch autopolling in
other part of driver there is no reason to read BGE_MI_MODE
register given that we know default value in advance. In order to
achieve the goal, check whether the controller has CPMU(Central
Power Mangement Unit) capability. If controller has CPMU feature,
use 500KHz MII management interface(mdio/mdc) frequency regardless
core clock frequency. Otherwise use default MII clock. While I'm
here, add CPMU register definition.
In bge_miibus_readreg(), rearrange code a bit and remove goto
statement. In bge_miibus_writereg(), make sure to restore
autopolling even if MII write failed. The delay time inserted after
accessing BGE_MI_MODE register increased from 40us to 80us.
The default PHY address is now stored in softc. All PHYs supported
by bge(4) currently uses PHY address 1 but it will be changed when
we add newer controllers. This change will make it easier to change
default PHY address depending on PHY models.

tag. All controllers that are not BCM5755 or higher have 4GB
boundary DMA bug. Previously bge(4) used 32bit DMA address to
workaround the bug(r199670). However this caused the use of bounce
buffers such that it resulted in poor performance for systems which
have more than 4GB memory. Because bus_dma(9) honors boundary
restriction requirement of DMA tag for dynamic buffers, having a
separate TX/RX mbuf DMA tag will greatly reduce the possibility of
using bounce buffers. For DMA buffers allocated with
bus_dmamem_alloc(9), now bge(4) explicitly checks whether the
requested memory region crossed the boundary or not.
With this change, only the DMA buffer that crossed the boundary
will use 32bit DMA address. Other DMA buffers are not affected as
separate DMA tag is created for each DMA buffer.
Even if 32bit DMA address space is used for a buffer, the chance to
use bounce buffer is still very low as the size of buffer is small.
This change should eliminate most usage of bounce buffers on
systems that have more than 4GB memory.
More correct fix would be teaching bus_dma(9) to honor boundary
restriction for buffers created with bus_dmamem_alloc(9) but it
seems that is not easy.

Even though the probability of generating such UDP datagrams is

stale data could be passed to controller. This could end up with
mbuf double free or unexpected NULL pointer dereference in upper
stack. To fix the issue, save loaded buffer's length and
reinitialize RX descriptors with the saved value whenever bge(4)
reuses the loaded RX buffers.
While I'm here, increase the number of RX buffers to 512 from 256.
This simplifies RX buffer handling as well as giving more RX
buffers. Controller supports just fixed number of RX buffers
(i.e. 512) and bge(4) used to rely on hope that our CPU is fast
enough to keep up with the controller. With this change, bge(4)
